Brandon Huntley finds a home in NIBIN?

It looks like Sergeant Brandon Huntley found a new home with NIBIN! It appears none of my retired cop friends knew what NIBIN was, but its an acronym for National Integrated Ballistics Information Network. (Note to all FOJs and all on the 4th Floor: Please explain to the "Internet ToughGuy" in my previous post what an Acronym is..)

So much like you right now, I was scratching my head and began thinking of the National Cinema Network that appears at the beginning of all AMC movies…which sounds like this Network…but no that’s not it. Then I thought about the USA Network on TV http://www.usanetwork.com/ and thought Huntley may have obtained his own Police Show.

They already had mentally challenged people working on TV with Corky in Life Goes on….

But a mentally challenged cop show? Naw!! Couldn’t happen! I could just imagine listening to the Ads (in a deep, booming TV voice…)

“He was a cop, who couldn’t find his ass from a hole in the ground…
A leader in Phoenix FIB…who couldn’t lead a pack of cub scouts to the bathroom…
Now walking the streets protecting you as TVs latest rouge cop, Brandon Huntley…
Now appearing on Cox’s latest channel ...

The National Integrated Ballistics Information Network.”

It sounds impressive, but “no” Brandon couldn’t get his own police show. He makes Corky look like at MIT grad. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=corky

But what is the Integrated Ballistics Information Network???

Well according to the ATF, NIBIN is “the National Integrated Ballistics Information Network (NIBIN), which collects and analyzes images of fired cartridge casings and bullets to link specific firearms to criminal activity.”

So it appears that Sergeant Brandon Huntley has re-appeared in a do nothing, administrative function, hidden somewhere by Jack Harris. Let's hope he has no one reporting to him.

Our own resident “Corky” will now be analyzing cartridge casings and bullets, when he couldn’t even handle an investigation in FIB! What a great way to piss away some Government Grant dollars.
