Area of Science:

  • Forensic Science
  • Ballistics Analysis
  • Quality Assurance

Background:

  • Crime laboratories require traceability and quality assurance per ASCLD/LAB-International guidelines.
  • The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) National Integrated Ballistics Information Network (NIBIN) is a key resource.
  • Previous National Ballistics Imaging Comparison (NBIC) project completed in 2010.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish a national traceability and quality system for ballistics identifications.
  • To implement a system for U.S. crime laboratories utilizing NIBIN.
  • To develop control charts and limits for a proposed quality system for firearm evidence.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized NIST Standard Reference Material (SRM) 2461 Cartridge Cases as reference standards.
  • 14 experts from 11 U.S. crime laboratories performed image acquisitions and correlations.
  • Collected correlation scores for statistical analysis by NIST.

Main Results:

  • Developed control charts and control limits based on expert performance data.
  • Provided a framework for assessing and accrediting firearm evidence analysis.
  • Demonstrated the feasibility of a national quality system for ballistics comparisons.

Conclusions:

  • The NBIC project successfully developed a quality system for ballistics identification.
  • The developed system supports accreditation in accordance with ISO 17025.
  • This initiative enhances the reliability and quality assurance of firearm evidence in U.S. forensic laboratories.
