Two Days of Hands-On RITHMS Training for Law Enforcement

On 7-8 April, partnering Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) participated in the first RITHMS training workshop, gaining their first hands-on experience with the newly developed RITHMS platform.

This training enabled LEA investigators and data analysts to explore how the platform's advanced tools can be used for accurate and effective intelligence gathering in cases of cultural heritage crimes.

The workshop covered:

• Theoretical insights on the epistemology of data.
• Practical introduction to the RITHMS platform: data collection, cleaning, correlation, knowledge graph database, and social network analysis (SNA) tools.
• Ethics & Security sessions: discussing potential challenges related to the platform deployment at LEA premises.

Participants were introduced to knowledge graph building, network analysis, and insights gathering into criminal networks, which will support their future investigations by generating new leads.

This marks an important step for the project in ensuring LEAs have the proper information to operate the innovative RITHMS tools effectively.
