The National Ballistics Intelligence Service (NABIS) has been providing comprehensive ballistic intelligence to the police forces of England and Wales and other government agencies since autumn 2008.

The service was set up provide a complete local, regional and national picture of gun crime by capturing all potential ballistic and other intelligence. This intelligence is then made available to the above agencies via a confidential IT system, the NABIS Database.

Critical to the provision of the service are three forensic hubs whose role is to examine recovered ballistic items and establish all potential intelligence links. This is done both by manual microscopic searches and by using the latest automated 3-D Integrated Ballistics Identification System (IBIS).

If you are interested in joining one of our highly motivated teams and being part of the future of forensic ballistics in the UK, then please get in touch with us.
