Ballistics IQ, produced by Evidence IQ, is the only automated ballistics imaging triage solution enabling immediate scanning of ballistics evidence, providing law enforcement with real-time unbiased forensic-based intelligence on gun crimes. Ballistics IQ supports the ATF's NIBIN and CGIC (Crime Gun Intelligence Center) initiatives to fight gun violence. Our mission is to deliver rapid crime gun intelligence to help law enforcement close cases, faster. Ballistics IQ produces actionable intelligence by triaging evidentiary Fired Cartridge Cases (FCC). Ballistics IQ utilizes proprietary software that identifies how many firearms were used from the submitted FCCs and identifies the best candidate for entry into NIBIN.
With the Rapid-Ballistics solution, agencies can forward the scans from the Ballistics IQ system to a team of Firearms Examiners who will review the submissions and search for any Potential Links between the submitted cartridge cases and ones already scanned into the BIQ system. On average, agencies are getting their results back within 3 hours! this immediate actionable intelligence is a game changer in the way agencies can investigate crime scenes. Rapid-Ballistics doesn't compete with NIBIN, rather it complements it and is akin to Rapid Hit DNA and CODIS.
Evidence IQ, a private company, is a premier global forensic service company serving all local, county, state, and federal law enforcement agencies.
