The Tallahassee Police Department (TPD) recently announced the implementation of the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN) program to aid in solving and preventing violent crimes involving firearms in the community. Within a few months of NIBIN’s inception, detectives developed over 65 leads in cases.
NIBIN utilizes cutting-edge technology to capture and compare images of submitted ballistic evidence from shooting scenes and recovered firearms, significantly boosting the rate of return on ballistic evidence. Through automated and manual analysis, NIBIN allows law enforcement to quickly determine connections between incidents and identify potential suspects.
“As technology evolves, TPD remains committed to enhancing our ability to combat gun violence,” said Chief Lawrence Revell. “Having these resources available in-house signifies TPD’s ongoing commitment to leveraging new and advanced technology for crime-solving and doing all we can to bring justice to those impacted by violent crime in our community. This program directly enhances the investigative process and impacts the overall quality of life for all citizens in Tallahassee.”
“Following up on these leads and working with ATF to solve these violent crimes stops trigger-pullers and disrupts the shooting cycle, stopping the next shooting before it occurs,” said ATF Special Agent Cassandra Mullins. “That’s what NIBIN is all about.”
The NIBIN program is run through TPD’s Tallahassee Firearms Intelligence Team which works collaboratively with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). The team is responsible for tracking all crimes involving firearms and using NIBIN technology to identify possible connections that could eventually lead to an arrest.
NIBIN facilitates collaboration and information sharing among law enforcement agencies at the local, state, and federal levels. This shared intelligence enables the tracking of trends, the identification of geographical hotspots of gun violence, and the development of targeted strategies to prevent future incidents.

What about all the other violence? 50% of violent crime in florida used tools other than firearms. Why obsess over one tool? Focus on solutions that deal with ALL violence.

“It’s not the weapon in their hand, it’s the evil in their heart.”
The program is to aid in solving and preventing violent crimes involving firearms in the community? Well, I don’t see it Preventing any Crimes as most Gun related Crimes are done with stolen Guns. If you want to prevent Gun Related and Violent Crimes, you need to put the Criminals in Prison for Longer Stays and give them Longer Probation. Bring back or start using the 10-20-LIFE Law. Make more Crimes Felonies. It is past time to get tougher on Criminals.
