In June of 2013, Cleveland’s WKYC-TV aired a revealing investigative report exposing the minimal amount of ballistic data local police agencies were submitting to the National Integrated Ballistics Information Network (NIBIN) - or more pointedly, how little some were using it at all.
Excellent write-up, Pete. Like the saying goes, “We have the technology. We can rebuild it and make it better than it was. Bigger…faster…stronger.” We need leaders to develop the vision, then a plan to get us there, & then lead the way through action to get us there. Kudos to the leaders, policy makers, & professionals of Ohio for their work.
This highlights the critical role of technology in modern policing. NIBIN's precision in linking firearms to crime scenes offers a powerful tool for investigators. Its effectiveness hinges on proper implementation and skilled analysis, ensuring that those who commit violent acts are brought to justice, contributing significantly to community safety and reinforcing the importance of investing in forensic resources.
