Did you know? A NIBIN lead is NOT a Forensic Identification

The National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN) is an incredibly valuable investigative tool that helps investigators spot potential connections between ballistic evidence. However, a lead is just a lead, NOT a court-admissible conclusion.

When a forensic conclusion is needed for trial, a qualified firearms examiner must microscopically examine the physical evidence.

That's where we come in. NIBIN helps point investigators in the right direction, but forensic experts provide the evidentiary confirmation. It’s a simple but important distinction, especially when ballistic evidence makes its way into the courtroom.
