Modern meth labs have a common need: ephedrine.  The Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act (CMEA) addressed this by limiting how much ephedrine an individual can purchase.  Its goal was to choke off meth cooks’ ephedrine supply.  The meth cooks have adapted, and now so must we.  Meth Hunter is the response law enforcement needs.

The CMEA worked—initially.  Then the meth cooks organized tightly coordinated rings of ephedrine pill shoppers (smurfs), with controllers monitoring membership, as well as purchase quantities, qualities, times and locations.  Their actions are designed to exploit police departments’ limitations in analyzing the available data.  Meth Hunter breaks through these limitations, addressing the smurfs’ current denial and deception tactics, and more.  For the first time, law enforcement will be able to catch up to, and even stay ahead of the smurfing conspiracies.

The Meth Hunter is an analytic program that automates ephedrine purchase log analysis based on the combined experience of The MERIT GROUP developed over decades of meth lab investigation and the intelligence analysis expertise of DAGIR Co.  Without human assistance, the Meth Hunter pinpoints and extracts the most suspicious names from your data logs.  Meth Hunter instantaneously delivers a list of likely ephedrine smurfs that is already sorted by level of suspicion.
