CASE STUDIES

Four Decades of Public Safety Support

At a Glance

  • Mission: Providing public safety agencies with critical investigative support capabilities
  • History: Nearly four decades of dedicated public safety support services within MVM’s 40-plus year history of federal partnership
  • Capabilities: Intelligence analysis, translation and transcription in more than 100 languages, and advanced investigative services, including complex digital and financial case support

The Challenge

Federal public safety agencies pursue complex investigations into transnational criminal organizations that generate enormous volumes of evidence: communications in foreign languages, complex financial records and digital asset transactions, digital devices, and open-source data. Turning that evidence into prosecutable cases requires specialized data analysis and technical investigative expertise.

MVM Capability

For more than four decades, MVM has operated programs supporting critical public safety missions, including work with the Drug Enforcement Administration, Federal Bureau of Investigations, and other federal partners.

That support has spanned the full lifecycle of an investigation. MVM analysts have worked alongside Special Agents and federal prosecutors to develop actionable intelligence and assist in preparing subpoenas, search warrants, and seizure affidavits. Linguists fluent in more than 100 languages and dialects have supported court-authorized investigations. Technical specialists have provided digital forensics, forensic accounting, and analytical support for financial crime and sanctions-related investigations targeting drug trafficking and other transnational criminal organizations.

The Impact

MVM’s public safety work has supported thousands of federal investigations and numerous prosecutions that have led to hundreds of arrests and millions of dollars in seizures from transnational criminal organizations involved in drug trafficking, human trafficking, and money laundering. MVM’s custom-built data analytics tools have generated 35% more investigative leads and cut query time from hours to minutes, significantly accelerating public safety agencies’ ability to turn raw data into actionable cases.

MVM helps public safety agencies keep pace with the evolving threat landscape — critical work that has helped dismantle trafficking networks, curb the diversion of pharmaceuticals, reduce the number of illegal firearms on the streets, and keep dangerous synthetic drugs out of American communities.
