FBI-LEEDA and the National Equipment Register are hosting a series of free one-day regional summits designed to help equipment owners, insurers and law enforcement better combat heavy equipment theft.

A general session will focus on the equipment theft problem and recovery challenges. Break-out classes will provide law enforcement with instruction in equipment identification techniques, including hands-on training. Classes for equipment owners will focus on theft prevention and how to increase the chances of recovering stolen equipment. New equipment security technologies will be explained and demonstrated throughout the day. The sponsored breaks and lunch will give equipment owners and law enforcement an opportunity to discuss issues of common interest and ways to support each other's efforts.
