Crime Gun Tracing and Ballistics Imaging Resources by State
Crime gun tracing and ballistics imaging are important tools to help law enforcement solve gun crimes and combat illegal gun trafficking networks. Local police departments and sheriff’s offices can use the federal eTrace crime gun tracing program and the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN) to trace guns and link shell casings recovered in criminal investigations. Violent gun crime and illegal gun trafficking are among the greatest public safety challenges our nation faces, and using eTrace and NIBIN helps law enforcement agencies address these problems more effectively.
