Notes from the property room.
What we are learning about crime gun tracing, firearm recognition, and sharing evidence between agencies, written down as we build.
- Most trace problems start at the sceneA trace is only as good as the firearm description on the request, and that description is usually written down in the first few minutes after the gun is recovered.
- Questions to ask any vendor that will hold your firearm evidenceBefore evidence photos and records leave the building, an agency's IT and CJIS staff should get clear, written answers to a short list of questions.
- Sharing a recovery without giving away the caseAgencies want to know when a partner has recovered a gun like theirs. They also want to decide what that partner gets to see. Both are possible.
See it on a real recovery.
Bring a case. We will run the flow end to end on your evidence, in your state, with your CSA’s questions in the room.
