GlobalPittsburgh hosted a sub-regional delegation for the International Visitor Leadership Program focused on Law Enforcement Solutions to Combat Online Scams and Transnational Crime from October 8–14, 2026. The group brought together law enforcement officials, prosecutors, judges, cybersecurity professionals, and investigators from ten Indo-Pacific countries to examine collaborative approaches to cybercrime, online fraud, and transnational criminal networks.
Participants met with the Pittsburgh Financial and Electronic Crimes Task Force to explore interagency intelligence sharing and coordinated investigations into cyber-enabled financial crimes. At the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, delegates learned about federal jurisdiction, multi-jurisdictional criminal cases, evidentiary standards, due process, and international legal cooperation.
The delegation also visited Marinus Analytics to examine how artificial intelligence and data analytics support investigations into human trafficking, exploitation, and cyber fraud. Meetings with InfraGard Pittsburgh and the National Cyber-Forensics & Training Alliance highlighted public-private information sharing, critical infrastructure protection, cyber intelligence, and cross-sector collaboration to disrupt transnational cybercrime.
A session with Qintel explored how large-scale data and threat intelligence can help investigators identify criminal networks and connect cross-border activity, while a visit to the Allegheny County Jail provided additional insight into the local criminal justice and corrections system. The program also included home hospitality and opportunities to experience Pittsburgh’s community and culture.
