DISCUSSION:
The application deadline for the Office of the Texas Governor, Public Safety Office, Criminal Justice
Grant Program (JAG) is February 8, 2024.
The Fort Worth Police Department Firearms Unit (FWPD-FAU) will apply for program funding in an
amount up to $200,000.00 for costs associated with the purchase of the National Integrated Ballistics
Information Network (NIBIN) BrassTrax Imager. If awarded, the FWPD-FAU will purchase the NIBIN
BrassTrax Imager to take acquired images of fired cartridge cases, both test -fired and evidentiary
cartridge cases, and compare them to other acquired images in the database to determine if the
firearm was used in any correlated incidents in an effort to support our detectives in making timely
arrests and getting violent criminals and their firearms off the streets of the City of Fort Worth and
neighboring jurisdictions.
Currently, the FWPD-FAU has a backlog of 512 cases of firearm -related evidence that must be
forensically examined to determine functionality, source of fired evidence, and presented in a forensic
report that is used in the prosecution of the offender. All eligible evidence is entered into NIBIN
BrassTrax Imager within 48 hours of their submittal to the Property Control Unit. The addition of a

second NIBIN BrassTrax Imager would enhance the efforts of FWPD-FAU to give detectives fast,
more efficient intelligence needed to make timely arrests in violent gun -related crimes.
No salaries are being charged to this grant, and therefore indirect cost recovery does not apply.
Matching funds are not required under the grant. The funding type is reimbursable.
The grant will serve ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS.

The Director of Finance certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations and adoption of
the attached appropriation ordinance, funds will be available in the current operating budget, as

Management Services) will be responsible for the collection and deposit of funds due to the City.
