Real-time Analytical Intelligence Database
(RAID) Training
What is RAID 3?
The Real-time Analytical Intelligence
Database (RAID) is a National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC)-designed
tool used in support of criminal prosecution. It is also used by
several law enforcement agencies for organizing and sharing case
information. The software helps analysts to catalog and analyze
valuable information collected from seized evidence or law enforcement
intelligence.
Unlike most other programs available to law enforcement for conducting
analytical work, RAID 3 is specially designed to run on a single
computer, a mobile peer-to-peer network, or a client-server network.
This allows users to work outside the confines of the office. A
team of analysts, agents, and officers has the freedom to operate
at a hotel, a raid site, or any other area where laptop computers
can be used.
RAID 3 was developed for NDIC, and NDIC offers the software and
training free of cost (travel costs and per diem are not included)
to law enforcement agencies.
Who Should Attend?
Federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement personnel (including
active and reserve duty military and National Guard) who have a
strong desire to learn RAID 3 should attend. The course is open
to law enforcement personnel, and personnel in the intelligence
and investigative fields. There will be 17 seats available per
class.
Why Should I Attend?
By learning how to use the Real-time Analytical Intelligence
Database (RAID) software, you will be able to organize and assimilate
significant amounts of evidence to reveal associations, assets,
and methods of drug traffickers in order to assist criminal investigations
and prosecutions. Using RAID you can identify previously unknown
leads, hidden assets, and coconspirators as well as organize evidence
for trial.
We have provided our RAID software and training to numerous agencies
in the United States as well as to foreign intelligence and law
enforcement agencies. Some of these agencies include FBI, RCMP,
DEA, DoD, INTERPOL, UN, HMRC, FAA, DOS, ICE, IRS, ATF, PGR, HIDTA,
HHS, USAO, DIA, OCDETF, CENDRO, and CNP.
We have worked with many foreign agencies, including INTERPOL
and the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime, as a conduit to
raise awareness and to distribute RAID to many of the following
nations, including: the Bahamas, Bolivia, Burma, Canada, Cape Verde,
Colombia, Costa Rica, Jamaica, Mexico, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Nigeria,
Panama, Peru, the Philippines, Senegal, Thailand, the United Kingdom,
and Venezuela.

In this 5-day course, users will be trained on the RAID software
so that evidentiary and investigatory information can be effectively
retrieved to assist organizations with their investigations. No
prior experience with RAID 3 or any previous versions of RAID are
needed.
The participants will be able to do the following:
- Use the RAID software to input data that
is used for document exploitation (DOC EX) and investigative
support by investigators and prosecutors.
- Use the RAID software to retrieve data.

This is an instructor-led workshop that is divided into modules.
Each module will be presented via an instructor-led presentation/discussion/demonstration,
followed by guided, student hands-on exercises. As the workshop
progresses, exercises will become less guided and will simulate
typical real-life scenarios. Each module will end with a review.
The reviews will include actual hands-on exercises that require
participant competency demonstrations.
