Goal: To develop leads to swiftly identify unlawfully used firearms and their sources and to effectively prosecute individuals engaged in violent crime. Objective: To partner institutions of higher education with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) and local law enforcement in an effort to teach and expose students to the value of using Crime Gun Intelligence (CGI) in violent crime investigations by using the CGI Center (CGIC) business process, ATF’s the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN), and NIBIN National Correlation and Training Center (NNCTC), as well as instruct students on the necessary processes required to build and manage investigations and prosecutions inclusive of CGI. Performance Measure 1: The number of courses developed within the new curriculum; and Performance Measure 2: Number of students that complete the full curriculum (i.e., all courses).

To date, grant-funded efforts have focused on developing frameworks for several potential full-semester courses, certificate courses, and continuing education programs for law enforcement. These courses provide foundational instruction on the principles of NIBIN and crime gun intelligence, as well as complex investigations involving criminal organizations. Additionally, WSU has developed several accredited training programs for law enforcement, prosecutors, and other criminal justice professionals, as well as a robust internship program with all partnering agencies, including CGICs, labs, District Attorney’s offices, U.S. Attorney’s offices, corrections, probation/parole, and local police departments. The ability to educate broad audiences on forensics, NIBIN, and crime gun intelligence impacts communities negatively impacted by firearm violence. NIBIN is an unbiased way of identifying the most prolific shooters and the collaborative partnerships among local, state, and federal partners have led to more effective gun crime investigations and improved strategic efforts surrounding resource allocation. Developing standard education and training expands the knowledge base of crime gun intelligence and increases the number of professionals using these advanced investigative methods.
