INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office was invited to apply for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 National
Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN) Modernization Program funding in the amount of
$300,000 from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA).
The funding can be used to upgrade critical ballistic imaging technology, and will support the
transition from legacy NIBIN systems to modern, fully compatible equipment, enhancing agencies'
capacity to swiftly investigate and solve gun-related violent crimes.
The Sheriff’s Office is proposing to replace its end-of-life HDW3 BrassTrax acquisition station with
current ATF-approved H4 technology, including five years of hardware, software, connectivity,
maintenance, upgrades, training, monitoring, and technical support.
POLICY ANALYSIS
• The HDW3 BrassTrax Acquisition Station is a forensic hardware and software device used by
law enforcement to capture high-definition 2D and 3D images of fired cartridge cases.
• Upon acceptance, the system will be installed at the OCSO Forensic Laboratory in Pontiac,
MI, which provides firearms and NIBIN services without charge to approximately 42 regular
law enforcement customers, including municipal, county, outside-jurisdiction, and federal
agencies. In 2024, the Firearms Unit completed 1,090 service requests; in 2025, it completed
809; and during the first six months of 2026, it completed 447. Outside-county and federal
partners accounted for 159 of the requests completed during the first half of 2026,
demonstrating the regional importance of the service.
• The new H4 platform will provide faster, more precise cartridge-case acquisition, backward
compatibility with existing NIBIN data, and current supported technology. The modernization
will complement ongoing operational improvement, including clear submission criteria,
routine assignment of acquisition work among qualified personnel, and regular performance
monitoring.
• Per the attached grant application package,the OCSO will acquire one (1) ATF-approved H4
BrassTrax acquisition system through a five (5) year service agreement, for a total of
$300,000.
• Upon acceptance, an executed MOU between the County and ATF will be required.
• Per the attached grant application package, after the five (5) year period, the OCSO will
incorporate necessary future costs into the budget process.

involving firearms, found or abandoned firearms, and domestic disturbances are also
permitted to be entered into the NIBIN system.
Any NIBIN unit will not be used to capture, share, or store ballistic images acquired at
the point of manufacture, importation, or sale of a firearm, or images of law
enforcement-issued firearms not associated with crimes. The NIBIN system does not
store information related to firearms owners or registration.
APPLICABLE LAWS
The applicable statutes, regulations, directives, and procedures of the United States, DOJ,
and ATF shall govern this MOU and all documents and actions pursuant to it. Nothing in
this MOU will prevail over any Federal law, regulation, or other Federal rule recognized
by ATF. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this agreement will be construed as a
waiver of sovereign immunity in excess of or beyond that which is authorized by the law
of the NIBIN Partner’s jurisdiction. This MOU is not a funding document. All specific
actions agreed to herein shall be subject to funding and administrative or legislative
approvals.
MODIFICATIONS AND TERMINATIONS
This MOU shall supersede any previous MOU between the parties regarding NIBIN. This
MOU shall not affect independent relationships or obligations (non-NIBIN related)
between the parties. If any provision of this MOU is determined to be invalid or
unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in force and unaffected to the
fullest extent permitted by law and regulation.
Except as provided herein, this MOU may be modified or amended only by written
mutual agreement of the parties. Either party may terminate this MOU by providing
written notice to the other party. The termination shall be effective upon the thirtieth
calendar day following provision of notice, unless an alternative date is agreed upon.

SYSTEM INSTALLATION
The NIBIN Partner hereby agrees and acknowledges that the deployed NIBIN system is
the property of the partner site. Any and all costs associated with the deployed NIBIN
system, to include costs to provide, install, and maintain the system, are the sole
responsibility of the NIBIN Partner and not the responsibility of ATF. ATF does not
have and will not have, at any time, any liability or financial obligation related to the
deployed NIBIN system. The NIBIN system is for use by the NIBIN Partner and any
other law enforcement agencies served by or in partnership with the NIBIN Partner.
Should the installation of the NIBIN system require physical construction at the site, the
NIBIN Partner will be responsible for such construction and any associated costs. If a
system is to be moved to allow additional access outside of a laboratory, NIBIN Partner
will ensure the appropriate protocols are put into place to ensure the integrity of crime
gun evidence along with maximum use of the equipment.
SYSTEM MAINTENANCE
The NIBIN Partner will maintain all NIBIN systems acquired by the NIBIN Partner and
repair or replace inoperable or outdated systems in an expeditious manner, at their own
expense. At all times, the NIBIN Partner agrees not to make or cause to be made any
repairs, alterations, movements, additions, improvements, or replacements to the NIBIN
systems not expressly authorized in writing by ATF in advance and further agrees to
exercise due care in every respect to prevent system movement, damage, destruction, or
misuse.
DEPLOYED SYSTEM USAGE
Because the NIBIN Program focuses on the reduction of firearms -related violent crimes,
the NIBIN Partner shall enter all eligible ballistic evidence recovered from crime scenes
as soon as possible. In addition, the NIBIN Partner shall enter into NIBIN test-fire
cartridge cases from eligible firearms taken into law enforcement custody in a timely
manner. NIBIN Partners may not charge other law enforcement agencies for the entry of
evidence into grant-funded or grant-maintained automated ballistics technology used in

DOJ FY 2026 Invited to Apply – National Integrated Ballistic Information (NIBIN) Modernization Program
SYSTEM USAGE AND MINIMUM REQUIRED OPERATING STANDARDS
To ensure the consistency, integrity, and success of NIBIN, ATF has enacted Minimum
Required Operating Standards (MROS). The MROS, listed below, are rooted in ATF’s
“Four Critical Steps for a Successful NIBIN Program” – comprehensive collection,
timeliness, investigative follow-up, and feedback. They identify the practices that best
allow NIBIN to provide comprehensive and timely crime gun intelligence.
1. Enter all fired or test fired cartridge cases from serviced law enforcement agencies
and/or departments through a NIBIN acquisition machine within 2 business days of
receipt.
2. Enter accurately all required information during the acquisition process on the
NIBIN acquisition machine.
3. Correlate and conduct a secondary review of any potential NIBIN leads through an
approved NIBIN correlation machine within 2 business days.
4. Disseminate NIBIN leads within 24 hours.
5. Designate and maintain a NIBIN program administrator.
6. No policy shall inhibit or restrict NIBIN submissions by serviced law enforcement
agencies and/or departments.
7. Operate with only qualified NIBIN users.
Please note that Standards 3 and 4 are not applicable to NIBIN sites using the NIBIN
National Correlation and Training Center for correlation reviews of ballistic images.
As a NIBIN partner, the [Insert XXXXX] is striving to meet the MROS by developing
and implementing changes in their operations and working toward compliance. Each
NIBIN site must be in compliance with MROS or working towards compliance to the
satisfaction of the Crime Gun Intelligence Governing Board.
AUDITS
ATF and the NIBIN Partner acknowledge their understanding that the operations
described in this MOU are subject to audit by ATF, DOJ, the DOJ Office of the Inspector
General, the General Accountability Office, and other auditors designated by the U.S.
Government. Such audits may include reviews of all records, performance
measurements, documents, reports, accounts, invoices, receipts, or other evidence of
expenditures related to this MOU and the NIBIN Program.
Notwithstanding, ATF will conduct audits of all NIBIN Partners and their sites once
every two years for the remainder of the MOU. The purpose of the audits is to review
and verify compliance with the required MROS. Each site must be in full compliance
with the MROS in order to maintain access to NIBIN.
Further, the NIBIN Partner agrees to allow auditors to conduct one or more in -person
interview(s) of any and all personnel the auditors determine may have knowledge
relevant to transactions performed or other matters involving this MOU and the NIBIN
Program.

FY 2026 National Integrated Ballistic Information (NIBIN) Modernization Program

Oakland County Sheriff’s Office:
Proposal Narrative
PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The Oakland County Sheriff's Office Forensic Laboratory is an established, ANAB-
accredited forensic laboratory and active NIBIN acquisition site. The laboratory provides
firearms examination and NIBIN services without charge to approximately 42 regular law
enforcement customers, including OCSO, municipal agencies throughout Oakland County,
agencies outside Oakland County, and federal partners. In 2024, the Firearms Unit
completed 1,090 service requests; in 2025, it completed 809; and during the first six months
of 2026, it completed 447. Outside-county and federal partners accounted for 159 of the
requests completed during the first half of 2026, demonstrating the regional importance of
the service.
OCSO currently operates an HDW3 BrassTrax acquisition station. The proposed project will
replace that end-of-life equipment with the current H4 platform through a five-year Solution
as a Service arrangement. The H4 provides substantially faster acquisition, single-
orientation capture, high-speed data transfer, a streamlined user interface, more precise
3D imaging, full-headstamp 3D capture, and backward compatibility with data from earlier
BrassTrax versions. Vendor materials indicate that a full acquisition generally takes
approximately two to five minutes, depending on caliber, effectively increasing acquisition
capacity.
FY 2026 National Integrated Ballistic Information (NIBIN) Modernization Program
Page 2 of 9
Modernization will support an established and heavily used regional service. OCSO has
reviewed its current NIBIN workflow and is implementing operational refinements to ensure
that qualifying evidence is processed consistently and efficiently across submitting
agencies. These efforts include clearer submission criteria, routine distribution of
acquisition duties among qualified personnel, and regular monitoring of processing
performance.
The H4 system will complement these operational improvements by substantially reducing
acquisition time, increasing practical processing capacity, maintaining compatibility with
existing NIBIN data, and reducing the risk of service interruptions associated with aging
equipment. The project therefore addresses both technology lifecycle needs and the
laboratory's responsibility to maintain reliable, timely access to ballistic intelligence for its
regional partners.
Project Goal: Modernize and sustain Oakland County's NIBIN acquisition capability so the
laboratory can provide reliable, timely, and regionally accessible ballistic intelligence in
support of firearm-related investigations, crime gun intelligence, and public safety.
Objective 1: Replace the existing HDW3 BrassTrax acquisition station with current
ATF-approved H4 technology while maintaining continuous NIBIN network access
during the transition.
FY 2026 National Integrated Ballistic Information (NIBIN) Modernization Program
Page 3 of 9
Objective 2: Improve cartridge-case acquisition speed, precision, reliability, and
processing capacity through current hardware and software, preventive maintenance,
upgrades, training, monitoring, and technical support.
Objective 3: Support sustained efficient and timely processing of qualifying evidence
through modern equipment, routine staffing assignments, clear submission criteria,
and performance monitoring.
Objective 4: Strengthen OCSO's contribution to ATF Crime Gun Intelligence Center
operations, NNCTC services, and regional information sharing by ensuring timely and
reliable availability of ballistic images and forensic support.
Objective 5: Plan for continued NIBIN capability beyond the five-year grant period
through advance lifecycle, budget, and procurement planning.
These goals and objectives directly support the three program outcomes identified in the
funding opportunity. Objectives 1 through 3 support improved ballistic evidence processing
turnaround times by replacing end-of-life equipment, increasing acquisition efficiency and
capacity, and strengthening routine workload distribution and performance monitoring.
Objective 4 supports increased gun crime case clearance rates by improving the timely
availability of ballistic intelligence and forensic support to investigators and enhances
Crime Gun Intelligence best practices through OCSO's participation in the ATF Crime Gun
Intelligence Center initiative, NNCTC services, and regional information sharing. Objective
5 supports the long-term sustainability of these outcomes through advance lifecycle,
budget, and procurement planning.

PROJECT DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION
Equipment and Services Acquisition:
OCSO will acquire one ATF-approved H4 BrassTrax acquisition system through a five-year
Solution as a Service agreement totaling $300,000. The grant-specific quote includes the
acquisition hardware, all software and software upgrades, shipping and installation, on-site
training, 24/7 technical support, continuous remote system monitoring, preventive
maintenance, warranty, connectivity, and unlimited use. The hardware will be owned by
OCSO. The annual breakdown escalates three percent per year and totals exactly $300,000
over the five-year performance period.
Implementation and Continuity of Operations:
The vendor anticipates installation as quickly as possible, but implementation may take
several months because 194 sites are included in the national modernization effort. OCSO
will remain connected to the NIBIN network during the transition. The H4 system will be
installed beside the existing acquisition station within the current NIBIN workspace; no
additional construction, electrical modification, or other facility improvement is
anticipated. The Laboratory Director and Firearms Supervisor will coordinate
implementation with County grant, purchasing, information technology, facilities, and legal
personnel; ATF; and the vendor. Scheduling will be managed to minimize disruption to active
casework and partner-agency services.
FY 2026 National Integrated Ballistic Information (NIBIN) Modernization Program
Page 5 of 9
Before the H4 system is placed into operational use, the laboratory will complete
installation and operational testing, a documented validation, performance checks, staff
training, competency documentation, quality-system updates, and management approvals
required by its ANAB-accredited quality system and ATF requirements.
Legacy Equipment Disposition:
OCSO will maintain continuity of operations during implementation and will not discontinue
use of the legacy system until the replacement system is operationally accepted. Following
successful implementation, OCSO will coordinate legacy-equipment disposition with ATF
and the vendor and will follow County surplus-property procedures and all applicable
federal, state, and local requirements.
Operational Readiness and Processing Efficiency:
The Firearms Unit has five qualified NIBIN acquisition users: three full-time employees, one
part-time firearms examiner, and one part-time NIBIN technician. Two of the full-time
employees are completing competency-based firearms examiner training, which has
temporarily limited the time available for routine acquisitions. Because completion
depends on meeting required training milestones and receiving final authorization, a fixed
completion date cannot be provided. As each employee completes training and is
authorized, NIBIN acquisition will become a routine assigned responsibility, distributing the
work more consistently across the workweek rather than relying primarily on part-time
coverage.

OCSO is revising evidence-submission guidelines to focus resources on current, qualifying
NIBIN evidence and reduce submissions that are unsuitable for NIBIN-only processing or
have limited current investigative value. The laboratory will monitor acquisition
performance, evaluate workload distribution, and adjust procedures as needed to support
consistent, timely service for OCSO and partner agencies.
Crime Gun Intelligence Best Practices and Partnerships:
OCSO participates in the ATF Crime Gun Intelligence Center initiative. The Forensic
Laboratory supports this partnership by acquiring qualifying ballistic evidence, issuing
associated forensic reports, sharing relevant ballistic information, and conducting
microscopic comparisons when confirmation is requested or needed for an investigation or
prosecution. The laboratory is serviced by the National NIBIN Correlation and Training
Center, which performs correlation review and disseminates investigative leads through the
established NIBIN process. Investigative follow-up is conducted by OCSO investigative
personnel, submitting agencies, ATF, and other partner agencies outside the laboratory.
OCSO has confirmed with ATF that an updated Memorandum of Understanding is required
for this modernization project. OCSO will route the current Appendix 2 template through the
required County and ATF review and signature processes. If the MOU is not fully executed
by the application deadline, OCSO will submit the unsigned or partially executed agreement
with an explanation that signatures are being obtained, as permitted by the funding
opportunity. The updated MOU supersedes prior NIBIN MOUs and establishes the parties'
FY 2026 National Integrated Ballistic Information (NIBIN) Modernization Program
Page 7 of 9
responsibilities for system operation, maintenance, security, usage, timely processing, and
regional access. OCSO already provides its NIBIN services without charging submitting law
enforcement agencies.
Sustainability:
Grant funding will support the full five-year performance period. OCSO recognizes that
continued NIBIN capability is an ongoing operational requirement. Before the grant-funded
period ends, the Laboratory Director, OCSO command, County grant staff, and County
budget and procurement personnel will evaluate available maintenance, service,
subscription, and replacement options and incorporate necessary future costs into the
County's normal budget process. Lifecycle planning will begin sufficiently in advance to
avoid interruption of NIBIN services.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
Between the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the
Oakland County Sheriff’s Office
Regarding the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network
This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is entered into by the U.S. Department of
Justice (DOJ), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and the
Oakland County Sheriff’s Office, hereinafter collectively referred to as “the parties,” and
the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office, referred to as the “NIBIN Partner.” This MOU
establishes and defines a partnership between the parties that will result in an ATF
National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN) system installation,
operation, and administration for the collection, timely analysis, and dissemination of
crime gun data to enhance the efforts of law enforcement to integrate resources to reduce
firearms violence, identify shooters, and refer them for prosecution.
AUTHORITY
This MOU is established pursuant to the authority of the participants to engage in
activities related to the investigation and suppression of violent crimes involving
firearms. ATF’s authorities are set forth in Title 28, Code of Federal Regulations,
sections 0.130-0.131, and include the power to investigate violations of the Gun Control
Act of 1968 (as amended), Title 18, United States Code, Chapter 44.
BACKGROUND
The ATF NIBIN Program uses sophisticated technology to compare images of ballistic
evidence. It is part of an integrated investigative approach to reduce firearms violence
and improve crime gun intelligence. Through aggressive targeting, investigation, and
prosecution of shooters and their sources of crime guns, Federal, State, tribal, and local
law enforcement agencies work in concert to combat firearms-related violence.
SCOPE
Participation in this program is expressly restricted to the sharing of ballistic imaging of
firearms data associated with crimes recovered by any law enforcement agency in the
United States and international law enforcement partners who have entered into
agreements with ATF to share ballistic data. ATF may work with our international law
enforcement partners to search their networks in an effort to identify a crime gun in their
database against a crime gun in ATF’s NIBIN network.
NIBIN systems are to be used to image ballistic evidence and test fires of firearms
illegally possessed, used in a crime, or suspected by law enforcement officials of having
been used in a crime. Ballistics information and/or evidence from firearms taken into law
enforcement custody through a gun buy-back program, property damage crimes
involving firearms, found or abandoned firearms, and domestic disturbances are also
permitted to be entered into the NIBIN system.
Page 2 of 8
MOU between ATF and OCSO regarding NIBIN
Any NIBIN unit will not be used to capture, share, or store ballistic images acquired at
the point of manufacture, importation, or sale of a firearm, or images of law
enforcement-issued firearms not associated with crimes. The NIBIN system does not
store information related to firearms owners or registration.
APPLICABLE LAWS
The applicable statutes, regulations, directives, and procedures of the United States, DOJ,
and ATF shall govern this MOU and all documents and actions pursuant to it. Nothing in
this MOU will prevail over any Federal law, regulation, or other Federal rule recognized
by ATF. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this agreement will be construed as a
waiver of sovereign immunity in excess of or beyond that which is authorized by the law
of the NIBIN Partner’s jurisdiction. This MOU is not a funding document. All specific
actions agreed to herein shall be subject to funding and administrative or legislative
approvals.
MODIFICATIONS AND TERMINATIONS
This MOU shall supersede any previous MOU between the parties regarding NIBIN. This
MOU shall not affect independent relationships or obligations (non-NIBIN related)
between the parties. If any provision of this MOU is determined to be invalid or
unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in force and unaffected to the
fullest extent permitted by law and regulation.
Except as provided herein, this MOU may be modified or amended only by written
mutual agreement of the parties. Either party may terminate this MOU by providing
written notice to the other party. The termination shall be effective upon the thirtieth
calendar day following provision of notice, unless an alternative date is agreed upon.
If either party terminates this MOU, ATF will retain its interest in the electronically
stored information contained in the database. ATF agrees to provide to the NIBIN
Partner an electronic copy of the data collected by the NIBIN Partner, subject to Federal
law and regulation.

MOU between ATF and OCSO regarding NIBIN
SYSTEM USAGE AND MINIMUM REQUIRED OPERATING STANDARDS
To ensure the consistency, integrity, and success of NIBIN, ATF has enacted Minimum
Required Operating Standards (MROS). The MROS, listed below, are rooted in ATF’s
“Four Critical Steps for a Successful NIBIN Program” – comprehensive collection,
timeliness, investigative follow-up, and feedback. They identify the practices that best
allow NIBIN to provide comprehensive and timely crime gun intelligence.
1. Enter all fired or test fired cartridge cases from serviced law enforcement agencies
and/or departments through a NIBIN acquisition machine within 2 business days of
receipt.
2. Enter accurately all required information during the acquisition process on the
NIBIN acquisition machine.
3. Correlate and conduct a secondary review of any potential NIBIN leads through an
approved NIBIN correlation machine within 2 business days.
4. Disseminate NIBIN leads within 24 hours.
5. Designate and maintain a NIBIN program administrator.
6. No policy shall inhibit or restrict NIBIN submissions by serviced law enforcement
agencies and/or departments.
7. Operate with only qualified NIBIN users.
Please note that Standards 3 and 4 are not applicable to NIBIN sites using the NIBIN
National Correlation and Training Center for correlation reviews of ballistic images.
As a NIBIN partner, the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office is striving to meet the MROS
by developing and implementing changes in their operations and working toward
compliance. Each NIBIN site must be in compliance with MROS or working towards
compliance to the satisfaction of the Crime Gun Intelligence Governing Board.
AUDITS
ATF and the NIBIN Partner acknowledge their understanding that the operations
described in this MOU are subject to audit by ATF, DOJ, the DOJ Office of the Inspector
General, the General Accountability Office, and other auditors designated by the U.S.
Government. Such audits may include reviews of all records, performance
measurements, documents, reports, accounts, invoices, receipts, or other evidence of
expenditures related to this MOU and the NIBIN Program.
Notwithstanding, ATF will conduct audits of all NIBIN Partners and their sites once
every two years for the remainder of the MOU. The purpose of the audits is to review
and verify compliance with the required MROS. Each site must be in full compliance
with the MROS in order to maintain access to NIBIN.
Further, the NIBIN Partner agrees to allow auditors to conduct one or more in-person
interview(s) of any and all personnel the auditors determine may have knowledge
relevant to transactions performed or other matters involving this MOU and the NIBIN
Program.

NIBIN system and agrees to allow use of the equipment by ATF personnel or our
representatives to support the program at the host location. All personnel accessing
NIBIN must be a Qualified NIBIN User as required by the MROS. This MOU should
not be construed to require the hiring of any new personnel, except at the discretion of the
NIBIN Partner. If the NIBIN Partner determines that additional personnel resources are
required, all costs associated with this hiring will be borne by the NIBIN Partner. All
users of the equipment must satisfy the same requirements as other NIBIN users and be
properly trained, qualified and approved in advance by ATF.
Following basic entry training, ATF will verify trainee competency before authorizing
network access. Individuals trained internally by a NIBIN Partner will not be certified as
appropriately trained until they successfully pass a competency test administered by ATF.
The NIBIN Partner may provide access to the NIBIN system under its operational control
to another law enforcement agency. Any such other law enforcement agency agrees to
the same restrictions placed upon the NIBIN Partner by this MOU. However, the NIBIN
Partner agrees to assume full liability and responsibility for the administration of such
access.
Access to the NIBIN system will be under the management and control of the NIBIN
Partner. The NIBIN Partner will ensure that only trained, cleared, and qualified personnel
have access to the NIBIN system.
Participating agencies will develop appropriate operating procedures to ensure all
eligible ballistic evidence will be submitted for NIBIN.
COORDINATION
ATF and the NIBIN Partner agree to adhere to standardized procedures and policies for
collecting, handling, documenting, transporting and preserving firearms, bullets, casings
and any similar evidence submitted for analysis and input into NIBIN.
ATF and the NIBIN Partner similarly agree to adhere to standardized procedures and
policies for the source data collection, input, exchange and protection of information, to
include information as to the location where ballistic evidence was collected, the
