The primary duties of a Firearm and Tool Mark Examiner are to identify, collect, preserve, examine, and interpret the ballistic evidence associated with criminal acts. Firearm and Tool Mark Examiners must use optical, electronic, measurement and analytical instruments to process and analyze evidence. Examiners must understand the use and limitations of these instruments used to examine firearms, tool marks, and gunshot residues. This work provides a comprehensive reference to automated ballistics identification, detailing for forensic specialists what automated systems and instruments are available, how they work and what they are best used for. Provides the forensic technicians in-depth review of existing technologies, their capabilities and how to utilize the technologies in investigations and research Includes coverage of ballistic systems used worldwide, such as: Alias, IBIS, Lucia, Balistika, Papillon and FireballForeword / endorsement from Robert Thompson of N.I.S.T., who has an extensive background in firearms and tool mark examination, and is a highly respected member of the AFTE (Association of Firearms and Tool Mark Examiners) INDICE: Introduction History of Automated Ballistics Systems Drugfire (FBI) capabilities, limitations IBIS (ATF) Bulletproof Dual Systems in Place (1993 to 1998) Drugfire (FBI) IBIS (ATF) NIBIN Standardized on IBIS Platform Drugfire phaseout IBIS superiority over Drugfire Forensic Technology Inc.
