What Is BSCII Certification? Building the Next Generation of Supply Chain Intelligence Investigators

ICTC Cargo Theft Intelligence Brief — Intelligence • Investigations • Prevention • Partnerships

By Commander Michael Ware | Illinois Cargo Theft Coalition

Why BSCII Was Developed

Modern cargo theft increasingly intersects with organized crime, fraud, identity compromise, transportation systems, technology, retail theft and traditional theft. Professionals working these cases need a broader understanding of how the supply chain operates and how criminal organizations exploit it.

Who BSCII Is For

BSCII is designed for qualified professionals including law-enforcement officers and investigators, loss-prevention and asset-protection professionals, corporate security personnel, transportation and logistics professionals, cargo-security specialists and other supply-chain stakeholders.

The Standard ICTC Is Working to Establish

The objective is to create a common professional foundation for understanding cargo theft and supply-chain intelligence so public- and private-sector professionals can communicate more effectively, recognize emerging methods and contribute more effectively to investigations and prevention.

Training Must Connect Theory to Operations

BSCII focuses on the practical relationship among intelligence, investigations, prevention, technology and collaboration. The goal is not simply to know terminology—it is to understand how information can be developed and applied in real-world supply-chain environments.

Strengthen the Network

Cargo theft crosses company, county and state lines. ICTC exists to connect vetted professionals across law enforcement, transportation, logistics, rail, retail, loss prevention and cargo security so intelligence can move faster than the criminal enterprise.

Build Investigative Capability with BSCII

The Basic Supply Chain Intelligence Investigator (BSCII) certification is designed to strengthen professional understanding of cargo theft, supply-chain intelligence, investigations, prevention and public-private collaboration. ICTC members also receive member benefits including 10% off ICTC training and conferences.
