Tracing

The Dominican Republic is in agreement with the exchange of information through appropriate marking of firearms and their subsequent registration in a database.

The National Police database for ballistic fingerprinting is now in operation. It uses the IBISTRAX system and aims to register all firearms in the Dominican Republic, including those in the hands of civilians and in official use, which serves as a support to the Public Prosecutors and criminal investigators.
