What types of crimes do you deal with on a regular basis? Well, what we're mainly focused on right now is firearms violence. Trying to identify those individuals, we like to refer to them as the trigger pullers, who are out there causing havoc in communities. These are the individuals that they're wrapped up in maybe narcotics trafficking, or a gang activity, or it's just a retaliatory shooting. Somebody got shot at, so the first thing they're going to do is get a gun and shoot back. Or somebody was disrespected or cut off in traffic. So unfortunately, a lot of times they'll just pick up a gun and try to retaliate. What we try to do and what we're focusing on are those small numbers of individuals in a community that are responsible for a vast majority of your shootings. We've seen studies and studies and different crime statistics that 80% of your shootings are done by about 10% to 15% of the individuals. So if you've got 200 shootings in a community, you don't have 200 individuals that are doing the shooting. You probably got 10% to 15% that are involved in a vast majority of those shootings. And the sooner you can identify one and remove them, you're able to immediately have a direct impact on reducing gun violence in that community. So that's what we're focused in on is trying to identify those individuals. And right now we're working with the ballistic technologies, looking at the spent cartridge casings that are recovered from scenes. And with our technology, Ballistics IQ, we're able to identify how many guns were used at a scene. And then with our rapid ballistics, we're able to determine links between shootings, which will help us identify those trigger pullers and get them off the streets quicker and hence making that area safer.
