Every Vehicle Tells a Story — Learn to Read It delivers a hands-on, scenario-based learning experience that emphasizes collaboration and intelligence sharing across HIDTA and MCAC partner agencies. This session demonstrates how vehicle-related data can be transformed into actionable intelligence within a unified investigative framework. Participants will learn how advanced vehicle data exploitation supports discreet and complex investigations through BERLA, the Annapolis-based innovator that pioneered the use of infotainment systems and vehicle processing units as investigative resources. The session also highlights License Plate Recognition capabilities housed at MCAC, with practical guidance on the most effective reports to request and how to apply historic and real-time LPR data drawn from more than one billion reads in 2025. Rounding out the session, the MCAC Motor Vehicle Administration program manager will present real-world case studies illustrating how MVA data—sometimes initiated by nothing more than a smartphone photo of a passing vehicle—can generate critical leads, with documented results in 2025 that include dozens of arrests, firearms recoveries, and significant drug seizures.
