My thanks to the members of The IACP Firearms Committee for such a productive meeting in Texas as we discussed ways to encourage theft prevention & safe storage of firearms as well as Crime Gun Intelligence & forensic tools for investigating gun crime.

The men & women at the FBI CJIS Division are the often invisible backbone of police intelligence and information systems. If you’re a cop, take a minute to think about them next time you hit the road.
