Geolocation Intelligence & Criminal Network Mapping
E3 Legacy Intel uses lawfully-sourced geolocation intelligence and proprietary analysis to map entire criminal networks, cargo theft rings, counterfeiting operations, and organized retail crime, from the scene of a crime to every device, party, and location involved. As licensed investigators (FL A-1400197), we turn location data into a structured picture of who is behind an operation, where they have been, and how the network connects.
Most firms can tell you where one phone is. We do something almost no one else can: start at a single crime scene and map the entire network behind it, every device that was there, everywhere it has been, and how the whole operation connects. It is one of the most powerful capabilities in modern investigations.
Cell phone geolocation turns one scene into a whole network
A cargo theft, a counterfeit-goods operation, an organized retail crime hit, each one happens at a place and a time. From that anchor, we identify the devices that were present, reconstruct where they traveled before and after, and connect them to staging locations, fences, warehouses, associates, and real identities. What looked like a single incident becomes a map of the entire ring and the people running it.
Cell phone location data, sourced lawfully
The intelligence is built from commercially available, advertising-derived location data that is lawfully acquired, then processed with our proprietary analysis. We do not intercept communications, install anything on a device, or use unauthorized access of any kind. This is lawful, commercial-data intelligence, applied by licensed investigators to support your investigation, your litigation, and law enforcement.
Every device at the scene, geolocated and tracked
Devices at the scene
The devices present at the time and place of an incident, isolated from the noise.
Movement & patterns
Where each device has traveled and its pattern of life, before and after the event.
Network connections
How the devices, and the people behind them, connect to one another.
Staging & fences
Warehouses, staging sites, and fence locations the network relies on.
Identity resolution
The link from an anonymous device to a real person, corroborated with investigation.
The cases cell phone geolocation decides
Cargo theft rings
Map the crew and the route from a hijacking scene to the fence and the buyers. See our cargo theft investigations.
Counterfeit & diversion
Connect the sellers, warehouses, and shippers behind a counterfeit or gray-market operation.
Organized retail crime
Turn a string of boosting hits into a mapped ORC network with named participants.
Stay Protected
Ongoing network monitoring
Continued mapping as a network evolves, so enforcement keeps pace with a moving target.
Rapid post-incident mapping
Fast deployment after an incident, while the location trail is freshest and most complete.
Attorneys and Companies Use Geolocation to Prove Where a Device Was
Our geolocation work comes from law firms and companies with a matter to prove. Defense counsel needs to show where a phone was when an incident happened. A company needs to know which devices were inside a facility the night inventory went missing.
We do not sell location data. Every engagement starts with a client and a case, uses lawfully obtained data, and ends with a report and map counsel can put in front of a court, with the method documented for cross examination.
To place a device at a time and location for your case, tell us what happened. For witness and debtor location, see our litigation intelligence work.
