A division of Verisk Crime Analytics, CargoNet maintains a national database and information-sharing system which is managed by crime analysts and subject-matter experts. It provides coordinated incident communications, recovery support and deterrence measures. CargoNet draws on a network of more than 120,000 law-enforcement officers and agents from some 9,000 agencies in the U.S. and Canada.
