\n\t\t90 crime fighters learn key tasks at 溏心vlog免费B站 workshop to make evidence count<\/i><\/p>\n


\nKINGSTON, R.I. \u2013 March 25, 2011 \u2013 A 30-year law enforcement veteran told police, prosecutors, public defenders and federal agents Wednesday that \u201cbalancing people, processes and technology\u201d is the best way to overcoming obstacles and gaps during investigations involving gun crimes.<\/p>\n


\nPeter Gagliardi, senior vice president of Forensic Technology Inc. of Quebec, Canada, discussed his \u201c13 Critical Tasks\u201d to solving gun crimes with 90 members of the law enforcement community during a workshop hosted by the Rhode Island State Crime Laboratory at the 溏心vlog免费B站.<\/p>\n


\nGagliardi, who got his start as a New Haven (Conn.) Housing Authority policeman, spent 24 years with the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, retiring in 1999 from his post as special agent in charge of the New York Field Division to join Forensic Technology Inc. and head the company\u2019s law enforcement communication initiatives. The company invented and manufactures the Integrated Ballistics Identification System, which is used by crime labs like Rhode Island\u2019s to upload gun information to a database.<\/p>\n


\nThat information is shared through a network called the National Integrated Ballistics Information Network. The bureau funds the IBIS computer-microscope systems in crime labs across the country and maintains the NIBIN network.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cMy job in the projects of New Haven was the best job I ever had because that\u2019s where I learned about people,\u201d Gagliardi said. But during his time with the ATF, he learned about the importance of innovation, processes and technology across federal, state and local law enforcement agencies. He also learned that every piece of evidence in a gun crime is important. He said he has represented Forensic Technology Inc. in 70 countries.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cWhen you are investigating a bomb scene, you never ignore the hole caused by the blast,\u201d Gagliardi said. \u201cBut at a gun crime scene, we often ignore the ballistics evidence. If we ignore that, we may cross a bridge that we may not be able to go back to.\u201d<\/p>\n


\nHis talk focused on gun crimes committed by individuals ranging in age from 15 years old to 30 because they usually involve some other criminal activity, such as drug dealing, prostitution, human trafficking and gang related activity. \u201cThis crime is usually repetitive and retaliatory in nature,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n


\n\u201cCriminals move and evidence moves, and we have to examine how guns cross multiple jurisdictions,\u201d Gagliardi said.<\/p>\n


\nHe talked about a Boston-based case, during which a weapon was used 14 times, including 3 times in Randolph and Brockton, Mass. and in Providence.<\/p>\n


\nHe said technology is a tremendous tool in helping different law enforcement agencies, whether they are federal, state, or local, connect with each other and share gun evidence. But he said that if a gun is seized in Providence and the evidence information is never entered into the IBIS and NIBIN systems, that seizure is not going to help the Boston cop solve a crime committed in his city with the same weapon.<\/p>\n


\nAs Gagliardi displayed two maps of New England during his power point presentation, he asked the audience to determine whether the travel of weapons occurs primarily within Rhode Island\u2019s borders or throughout New England. Several answered that Boston is an important link, but they emphasized that New York also has a strong link to Rhode Island. <\/p>\n


\nEach participant received a certificate for completing the workshop and Gagliardi\u2019s book, The 13 Critical Tasks, An Inside-Out Approach to Solving More Gun Crime.\n\t<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
