IBIS ClearCase delivers rapid crime gun intelligence, giving investigators actionable leads in minutes, not days.
In active investigations, every hour matters. ClearCase is a fully automated cartridge case triage solution that gives investigators crime gun intelligence in minutes. Powered by IBIS technology, ClearCase processes up to 20 cartridge cases in under 20 minutes, then immediately searches within your agency's cases for ballistics associations. ClearCase also determines how many firearms were involved, identifies caliber, and selects the best candidates for submission to NIBIN or other IBIS networks. Thanks to this rapid intelligence, investigators can act on leads before the case goes cold.
Request DemoClearCase gives your agency an investigative edge with unbiased, rapid crime gun intelligence.
Process up to 20 cartridge cases in under 20 minutes, and with the rotating carousel, evidence can be processed continuously. No manual sorting. No bottlenecks.
With ClearCase's "InSights" feature, the system automatically scans your agency's cases for ballistics associations, giving investigators leads moments after evidence is processed.
Built on decades of IBIS innovation, ClearCase delivers 99% caliber prediction accuracy and 85% correct firearm clustering.

Learn how agencies use ClearCase to advance gun crime investigations.
Two shooting incidents occur 48 hours apart in different neighborhoods. Investigators have a suspect in one case, but the second incident seems unrelated. One agency processes the evidence from both scenes through ClearCase. With InSights, the system immediately identifies a ballistics association: the same firearm was used in both shootings. Investigators now have a critical lead. The suspect in the first case is likely connected to the second incident.
Dozens of cartridge casings are found at a scene, and investigators suspect multiple shooters. ClearCase processes the evidence in minutes. It automatically groups casings by caliber and firearm and provides rapid intelligence on how many guns were involved. Investigators get answers while the investigation is still hot.
A NIBIN site processes acquisitions from multiple agencies across the state. ClearCase automatically pinpoints the best cartridge cases for submission. The result: the lab consistently meets ATF's 2-day MROS deadline and NIBIN submission quality increases, helping increase the likelihood of uncovering more ballistics leads for investigators statewide.
A forensic lab serves 30 neighboring jurisdictions and struggles with massive evidence backlogs. ClearCase eliminates triage bottlenecks, freeing the firearms examiner from repetitive work so they can focus on higher-value analysis: acquisitions, evidence comparison, and expert testimony.
No specialized training. No complicated setup. Just load the carousel and press start. ClearCase handles the rest. ClearCase captures high-resolution 3D images, runs IBIS algorithms, and groups casings by firearm in under 45 seconds per casing. Results appear in the mobile app or secure web console with a downloadable PDF report featuring GPS maps and a visual firearm trial that shows every cartridge case belonging to the same weapon.
Once triage is complete, ClearCase InSights automatically scans your agency's cases for ballistics associations, identifying links between incidents moments after evidence is processed. No manual searching. No missed connections. Just intelligence in real-time that connects the dots across cases.
From crime scene to investigative lead. In minutes.

ClearCase uses the same advanced IBIS algorithms deployed in 80+ countries. A 2025 internal developmental study confirmed 99% caliber accuracy and 85% accuracy in identifying the exact firearm cluster, surpassing manual expert review.
ClearCase captures high-resolution 3D images of each casing's primer breech face and firing pin impressions. IBIS algorithms then analyze the microscopic markings left by the firing pin and breech face, unique to each firearm regardless of ammo type. Casings fired from the same firearm are automatically grouped as a cluster, and results appear in the mobile app or web console once processing is complete.
ClearCase supports the calibers most commonly encountered in gun crime investigations up to the length of a 5.56×45 cartridge. Contact a LeadsOnline representative for specific caliber compatibility details.
NFC tags are optional. Exhibits without NFC tags route to the web portal for manual case assignment, triggering processing immediately upon assignment.
NIBIN entry requires re-acquisition in an IBIS BrassTrax, but ClearCase streamlines this process by pinpointing the best cartridge cases to submit, reducing unnecessary submissions, improving submission quality consistency, and saving lab time.
The ClearCase acquisition unit is designed to be stationed at a law enforcement agency or lab as it needs power and internet connectivity. The mobile app operates in the field, allowing investigators the option to log and geo-tag evidence at the scene before bringing exhibits to the unit.
Yes. ClearCase generates PDF reports including high-resolution cartridge case images, GPS-based incident maps, and triage results, ready to attach to investigative case files.
Yes, agencies can import images (e.g., photo marker images) and link images to the specific piece of evidence.
