Kevin and Tina,
We are set to bring the NIBIN trailer to Idaho the week of August 8. Considering logistics of travel and
th
set up, we would most likely be in town on Wednesday the 10 for the test fires. We will also be
procuring as much test-fire ammunition as we can before that date. To help us plan accordingly and
accommodate all the participating agencies, please provide a total count and a breakdown of the
NIBIN-eligible firearms in terms of caliber. More details relating to the protocol will follow.
Thanks,

Kevin…I will try to work on this a little each day as much as I can. I was gone in class all last week and I will be by myself
a couple days next week and we are very behind on requests.

Great! I’ll circle back around to confirm details once I get responses from the other participating

Hey Kevin,
I wanted to check back in to provide a quick update to our timeline. Due to scheduling conflicts, we
had to push back the deployment dates of the NIBIN test-fire trailer from spring to summer of this
year. We’ve set our sights on August 16-18 as our new target dates. If we were to bring the trailer to
your local area during one of those days, do you anticipate any impediments?
Thanks,

Ok, no worries. I’m coordinating with other agencies as well, so just trying to get a preliminary feel
for when the best time would be.

Hey Kevin,
I’m kicking around a few possible dates. Would the week of March 28 work for you (likely middle of
the week for TFPD)?

No worries, my friend. Thanks for getting back to me. Currently, I’m planning mid-to-end of March
deployment for the trailer. Let me know if that would fit within the anticipated timeframe for getting
the supervisor situation worked out. If not, I can try pushing it back to around May. We’d love to have
the Twin Falls agencies participate in this, so we’ll do our best to work around your schedule.

It has been a crazy couple of months. I have not had much opportunity to get you a gun count yet. I apologize. The
biggest issue is we still don’t have a supervisor over our Property and Evidence. I expect that to change soon. Do you
guys have any time frame on when you plan to bring the trailer through?
