"ATF's NIBIN National Correlation & Training Center houses technology that will allow CPD to submit images of shell casings recovered from crime scenes & match those casings to guns used in crimes. This will be an invaluable resource for CPD in the early stages of investigations."
"I first sent a letter to the Department of Justice in 2017 calling for CPD to have access to this Center's resources. Having the ability to utilize this technology will help CPD identify shooters and solve crimes."
