In this interactive session, participants will immerse themselves in a real-life juvenile sex trafficking case study, witnessing firsthand how Spotlight, our innovative tool, was instrumental in identifying and safeguarding a minor. Developed with the singular goal of identifying and safeguarding the most vulnerable victims, Spotlight equips law enforcement with advanced machine learning algorithms and profile analysis tools to navigate vast amounts of data efficiently. Join the presenters as they provide an in-depth overview of Spotlight's capabilities, guiding participants through the application interface and demonstrating its practical application in identifying and safeguarding minors. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own device (BYOD) to actively engage with the application alongside the instructors, gaining hands-on experience in utilizing Spotlight for juvenile sex trafficking investigations.
