Definition
- NABIS was established in 2008 and provides an intelligence resource that is available to UK police forces and other law enforcement agencies that focuses entirely on the criminal use of firearms. It comprises three separate but interlinked elements, namely; a complete registry of all recovered firearms and ammunition coming into police possession in England and Wales; a ballistics comparison capability to link crimes and incidents within 24 to 48 hours in urgent cases; an associated intelligence database to provide strategic and tactical intelligence capable of focusing law enforcement activity.
