In the framework of UNLIREC's Operational Forensic Ballistics Assistance Package project, UNLIREC, with funding from Canada and USA, carried out its third sub-regional meeting for Caribbean states on forensic ballistics at its headquarters in Lima, Peru from 16-17 May 2018. 35 state representatives, ballistic experts and international organizations participated, including INTERPOL and CARICOM IMPACS. The two-day meeting focused on leveraging ballistic data to combat gun crime and illicit firearms trafficking, improving coordination and ballistic information sharing among agencies as well as integrating quality controls and standard operating procedures in laboratories across the region. Eight Caribbean Member States, including Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Dominican Republic, Guyana, Jamaica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and Trinidad and Tobago, were represented at both the operational and policy levels. Participants highlighted current practices in, inter alia, firearms tracing as well as ballistic information sharing via the use of double casts and equipment previously provided by UNLIREC during project implementation.
