                Firearms examination includes analysis that can tie a bullet or cartridge case to a specific gun, test trigger pull, and determine gun length.  Refer to the "Submission Guidelines" for additional information.


                Effective 3/01/2022, the NLCL will no longer provide Latent Print or Toolmark Services which were previously available.


                The NLCL (Shreveport) is part of the National Integrated Ballistics Information Network, a computer-assisted ballistics imaging system that stores and compares images of the unique marks made on fired cartridge cases.  All NIBIN submissions should be referred to the Shreveport facility.
