Rapid Ballistics
&
Automated Potential Links (APL)
Agencies need actionable intelligence regarding the fired cartridge case (FCC) and firearms
they recover from crime scenes. With Rapid Ballistics investigators will
get the intelligence they need in near real-time. Each new agency receives a block of Ten
(10) Rapid Ballistics cases with additional available for purchase depending on proposed
utilization.
New
Ballistics IQ has now added the Automated Potential Link (APL) feature to
the family of
Rapid Ballistics offerings.
With
APL, every time a user runs a Crime Scene Analysis (CSA) Triage
report:
-
Our proprietary algorithms will automatically search the BIQ database to look for
links
between the FCCs on the new CSA report and any previously scanned casings in the
system.
-
If an APL is identified, the user will receive an email asking if they would like to
have the APL reviewed by the Rapid Ballistics team.
-
Once submitted, a senior Firearms Examiner will review the APL and it will also
be verified by a second senior Firearms Examiner.
-
If approved, the user will receive the new Verified Potential Link
report.
All of this happens in near real-time giving the
investigators the actionable intelligence they need while working their active shooting
scene. And the best part is... agencies are
ONLY charged one of their Rapid Ballistics contract cases
IF a Verified
Potential Link is
found. If the link is not verified, there is no charge to the agency for submitting the APL
request. Agencies can still submit a CSA report directly to the Rapid Ballistics team, as
they have been doing, to obtain additional intelligence regarding their shooting incident.
