As an instructor for IAPE, I always try to mingle with the students and learn some of the systems and processes they are using which have been successful for them when handling or storing evidence.It was during one of these classes that I met Evidence Identification Supervisor Jan Schmitt from the Yuma Police Department.He had some very exciting things to say about the success their department has had with linking crimes together with the use of NIBIN (National Integrated Ballistics Information Network). I wanted to share his story with you.
NIBIN has helped us match homicides in which we had a suspect in custody, to drive by shootings with no suspects, and matched multiple drive by shootings to each other.

Thank you, Jan Schmitt, for sharing you stories with us.This may encourage other law enforcement departments to research the benefits NIBIN may give to their investigations.
