The software is a database that contains over 21,000 records of individual firearms, making identification and classification simple and efficient.

Firecycle

Firecycle is an online database tracking system that law enforcement agencies can use to track a firearm through its lifetime. This can include lost/stolen firearms, newly licensed/purchased firearms, and firearms belonging to police officers or other law enforcement officials. The system provides additional tools to solve crimes and reduce firearm violence within the community, thereby reducing cost to society and providing additional safety.
