Boston PD Ballistics

Boston Phoenix: Bad ballistics. Ballistics evidence is used to send people to jail all the time. Ballistics comparison is as much art as science, so training is of utmost importance. Unless you are in Boston.

Compared with their counterparts in big cities like New York, smaller cities like Pittsburgh, or states like Illinois, Boston’s firearms examiners are amateurs, who would not qualify to work in those other jurisdictions.
