Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office Deploys 26 TRACE Ballistic Chambers to Combat Gun Crime Nationwide
The fight against gun violence in Mexico has taken a significant step forward with the deployment of 26 TRACE Ballistic Chambers by the Fiscalía General de la República (FGR), Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office. This groundbreaking initiative is aimed at aggressively targeting gun crime across the country, providing law enforcement agencies with cutting-edge forensic tools to capture, preserve, and analyze ballistic evidence quickly and efficiently.
A Revolutionary Solution in the Fight Against Gun Crime
The TRACE Ballistic Chamber, provided by TSN-US, is a state-of-the-art bullet and casing recovery system that allows law enforcement agencies to process ballistic evidence faster, safer, and more accurately than traditional methods. Designed for both crime laboratories and police departments, the chamber collects fired bullets and shell casings, ensuring they are preserved without contamination, and allows for immediate entry into ballistic databases, such as NIBIN (National Integrated Ballistic Information Network).
By implementing this advanced technology, the FGR aims to improve firearm tracing capabilities and streamline investigations, ultimately helping to reduce gun crime and bring perpetrators to justice more efficiently.
Why TRACE? Key Features That Make a Difference
The deployment of the TRACE Ballistic Chambers highlights the Mexican Government's commitment to modernizing crime-fighting techniques. Here’s what makes TRACE stand out:
- Fast and Efficient Processing: TRACE quickly captures and preserves bullets and casings from seized firearms.
- Mobile and Versatile: The chamber can be deployed as a mobile unit, allowing police departments to process firearms directly in the field.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Compared to traditional ballistic testing setups, TRACE is more affordable, requires minimal space, and reduces the backlog of firearm evidence.
These features make TRACE an indispensable tool for law enforcement agencies, especially in regions with high volumes of firearm-related crimes.
Nationwide Deployment Across Mexico
The FGR has commissioned 26 TRACE Ballistic Chambers, which are now deployed across Mexico’s 32 states, from border towns to remote rural areas. This widespread deployment ensures that federal and local law enforcement agencies have access to consistent, reliable ballistic testing capabilities, enabling them to:
✅ Enter confiscated firearm data into the national ballistic database.
✅ Identify and track firearms used in multiple crimes across different regions.
✅ Accelerate the investigation and prosecution of gun-related crimes.
By expanding the national ballistic “DNA” database, TRACE helps create a more comprehensive, actionable database that can link firearms to crimes and suspects faster than ever before.
A Commitment to Public Safety
TSN-US CEO Noel Cherowbrier expressed his pride in supporting Mexico’s law enforcement agencies with advanced ballistic technology.
“We are proud to see the FGR in Mexico provide advanced ballistic technology that will enhance public safety and help to combat gun crime. The TRACE Ballistic Chambers are cost-effective, reliable, and efficient, making them the perfect solution for law enforcement officials across the country.”
Felipe de Jesús Gallo, Chief of the Criminal Investigation Agency at the FGR, shared his enthusiasm for the new forensic tool:
“The TRACE Ballistic Chambers will enhance our ability to investigate and prosecute gun-related crimes, making Mexico a safer place for all of its citizens.”
TRACE’s Impact on Law Enforcement Across Mexico
The deployment of TRACE Ballistic Chambers is a milestone in crime-fighting innovation for Mexico. It addresses many of the challenges faced by law enforcement agencies, including:
- Backlogs in firearm processing.
- Lack of specialized testing facilities in remote areas.
- The need for faster turnaround times in ballistic investigations.
With TRACE, law enforcement agencies in Mexico now have the tools to process and link firearms to crimes more effectively, strengthening efforts to curb gun violence and protect communities.
