group affiliations, and other criminal users can be identified when officers encounter suspects in the field. Crime Reduction Agencies can achieve earlier apprehensions of repeat offenders with use of crime-gun information. When investigating robbery, homicide, non-fatal shootings, and the like, early identification of purchasing patterns leads to early apprehensions and interruption of sources of guns to criminals. With a small number of sources of guns, patterns can be identified; many times intervention soon after the sale can prevent crimes from occurring. Increase in Available Intelligence Investigators can receive leads from immediate crime -gun station analysis. By conducting the standard queries found within the crime-gun station, investigators will have the capability to accurately identify viable suspects for follow-up and include suspects last known and best addresses, vehicles owned or utilized, as well as criminal and other affiliations
Enhanced Prosecution Rates Agencies will not only increase their solution rates, but importantly their conviction rates by including all pieces of evidence that link the suspect to the firearm and others involved in the criminal act. An additional byproduct will be the enhancing the creditability of arresting officers testimony by adding supporting evidence outside of the arrest incident. Improvement of Intelligence-Led and Problem Orienting Policing State and local supervisors and managers will also possess the capability to institute prevention and intervention strategies by performing analysis of the data found within the Crime-Gun Station. The combining of visual analysis software to the CRIME INTELLIGENCE STATION provides an efficient method of determining patterns and trends for performing predictive analysis to determine optimum deployment of resources and identifying the most advantageous strategies.
Improved Public Relations - Agency executives will now possess the capability of providing the most current facts and statistics, at any given time, regarding firearms-related violent crime issues for public consumption. www.defensetechs.com info@defensetechs.com
Intelligence
The Security / Intelligence examples discuss how CRIME INTELLIGENCE STATION provides invaluable tools for assisting government agencies in their mission to secure homeland, infrastructures and national security. Developing effective intelligence solutions is critical for government organizations dealing with national security issues including military operations and various proliferation concerns. It also effects commercial organizations focused on theft, espionage, or competitive intelligence activities. Proactively exposing the underlying patterns and behaviors pertaining to security-related areas helps ensure decisive and pre-emptive actions can take place. The intelligence community has long employed advanced technologies to sift through vast amounts of data looking for connections, relationships, and critical links among their targets. Patterns are often derived from non-traditional data sources ranging from freetext documents and message intercepts to video clips and audio streams. The systems typically used by the intelligence community are comprehensive and extremely specialized. They are often built with external support and combine classified information with open-source data to yield better patterns.

Combating Terrorism
Terrorism is a global threat influencing the attitude and behavior of a target group by threatening - or carrying out - devastating actions. These actions, as we have seen, can and do include the use of conventional weapons, biological, chemical, or nuclear agents. Today's terrorism also threatens our economic and information resources. Our vulnerability to terrorist attacks expands with our growing reliance on information technologies. Increased access to information and the centralization of vital components of local, national, and global infrastructure threaten both local and national security. Investigating today's terrorist groups requires inter-agency communication and collaboration. It is essential that law enforcement agencies and task forces be able to collect and analyze data from multiple data sources in order to monitor, penetrate, infiltrate, and prevent terrorist activity. Terrorism is a premeditated act that requires detectable preparations including money transfers, material purchases and personnel movement. Intelligence works against terrorism.

Border Security
Protection of national borders is a critical task in the United States defense plan. The United States shares 5,525 miles of border with Canada and 1,989 miles of border with Mexico. The U.S. maritime border includes 95,000 miles of shoreline, and a 3.4 million square mile exclusive economic zone. Every year, more than 500 million people cross our borders to enter the United States. Some 330 million of these people are non-citizens. Securing the borders requires the cooperation of several federal agencies including those responsible for transportation security, immigration control, border patrol, customs, and maritime security - in support of the overall goal of providing Homeland Security. The ability to research and share information among and between these agencies is mission-critical.

Narcotics Trafficking
Law enforcement initiatives attempt to attack drug trafficking organizations at every level through a careful coordination of local, state and federal efforts. Law enforcement officials must constantly adapt to new situations, make greater use of intelligence, stay current with technology, and expand cooperation between agencies to be effective in their drug control efforts. All levels of law enforcement must employ operational (reactive) and strategic (proactive) analysis methods that focus on both short-term and long-term goals. In order to effectively perform both types of analysis, law enforcement agents must be able to access a wide range of information to uncover hidden links between cases which would normally seem unrelated.

Money Laundering
Criminals launder money to hide criminal activity everything from drug trafficking to tax evasion that generates the money. It is the means that criminals use to legitimize the money. Although the exact amount of money laundered yearly is still not known, experts estimate that money laundering schemes are in the billions of dollars possibly as high as $100 billion. Money launderers operate through layers of activities designed to hinder the detection, investigation and prosecution of their activities. This is often accomplished by structuring transactions, establishing businesses specifically for the purposes of manipulating accounts, or simply coercing individuals into ignoring reporting regulations. Additionally, launderers may physically smuggle money out of the country to evade tracking.
