Unlock more value

You didn’t become a crime scene professional to spend hours searching for cartridge cases with no clear idea where they’ll lead—but what if every piece of brass you collected could help identify a shooter?

Join us for an engaging look at two of the most powerful firearm intelligence tools available to investigators: NIBIN (National Integrated Ballistic Information Network) and eTrace. Learn how these complementary systems transform cartridge cases and recovered firearms into actionable investigative leads by connecting shootings, tracing firearm histories, and identifying suspects faster.

Through real-world case studies and practical examples, you’ll discover how integrating NIBIN and eTrace into your investigations can strengthen cases, improve collaboration, and generate valuable intelligence long before laboratory results are complete.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:

• Understand how NIBIN links cartridge cases to related shooting incidents.
• Use eTrace to uncover a firearm’s history and investigative value.
• Combine ballistic intelligence and firearm tracing to generate stronger leads.
• Avoid common collection, documentation, and submission mistakes that can delay investigations or reduce evidentiary value.
• Apply practical strategies you can implement immediately in your agency.

Whether you’re new to firearm investigations or looking to maximize the value of your evidence, this webinar will provide practical tools and strategies to help you turn recovered brass into meaningful investigative intelligence.
