RE: 21-2022 HIDTA Funding for Laboratory Positions
Dear Sir,
I am requesting your consideration to provide HIDTA funds to support the salaries of two part-time
laboratory technicians. You're continued funding of thirty-five thousand ($35,000.00) dollars will make
it possible to retain these technicians that are critical to the operation of our Firearms Unit. The
technicians provided support to 93 local agencies and 7 federal agencies that include BATF, HSI, FBI,
DEA, USPS, ICE and US Customs & Border Patrol. The technicians test firearms enter fired cartridge
cases into our Integrated Ballistics Identification System (IBIS) and author lab reports of their findings.
For year 2020, 1406 firearms were submitted to the laboratory and the resulting test fired cartridge
cases were entered in IBIS. IBIS acquisitions resulted in 190 leads which were subsequently reported
to agencies to assist in their investigations.
Their work has resulted in faster casework turn -a -round times and significant reductions in casework
backlogs.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at your earliest convenience.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
Captain Joe Quisenberry
Oakland County Sheriff's Office
