European law enforcement groups are setting up a data sharing system to improve the identification and tracking of organised criminals and weapons.
The Odyssey system will allow security staff to flag up ballistics data that fits with similar crimes around Europe so that, for example, a single gun used in multiple crimes can be tracked across the continent.
The development is being co-ordinated by Sheffield Hallam University and developed by a consortium of police forces, government organisations, IT support companies and research centres.
Criminals use guns as currency, and Odyssey allows agencies to build profiles of crime networks by tracking the unique ’signature’ that guns and bullets produce when they are fired.
