As part of the INTERPOL Illicit Arms Records and tracing Management System (iARMS) project, on 28-31 January 2019, INTERPOL carried a Firearms Intelligence Course for countries from South and South-East Asia participating into Project Scorpius. The course targeted different law enforcement agencies in order to promote the use of INTERPOL capabitilities in the context of fireams trafficking investigations. The training also included modules of firearms investigation, firearms safety, illicit firearms tracing through iARMS, and analysis of firearms trafficking related intelligence.

Descripción del Proyecto

Funded by the European Union, the INTERPOL Illicit Arms Records and tracing Management System (iARMS) is a platform that facilitates information exchange and investigative cooperation between law enforcement agencies in relation to the international movement of illicit firearms. Countries are encouraged to upload records of lost and stolen firearms in iARMS. Consequently, in the case of a recovered firearm, the database is queried and the country can identify when and where the firearm was diverted into illegal possession. Should the query does not generate a positive result, the user can send a request to the country of manufacture, country of last legal import (if marked on the firearm) and to any country that may be connected to the case.
