Abstract
Abstract Today, criminals are more mobile, and police must rely upon the actions of police in other jurisdictions to solve cases. A gun seized by police in one city may well be the missing piece of evidence in a murder case being investigated by police in a neighboring city. There are common sense steps that can now be taken to stop armed criminals. They involve the creation of consistently applied protocols for the processing of firearm-related evidence adhered to by police and forensic agencies operating within a given region that are designed to provide investigators with more crime-solving leads in a timely manner. Regional crime gun processing protocols provide an effective and sustainable solution to ensure that all of the valuable information from inside and outside of a crime gun is exploited and shared among police agencies. This paper discusses the thirteen critical tasks that must be addressed in establishing sustainable protocols and ways in which to balance the people, processes, and technology needed to collect and analyze all of the available data that can be obtained from crime guns and related evidence.
