SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April
29, 2016, the U.S. Departments of
Justice (DOJ), Homeland Security (DHS),
and Defense (DoD) submitted a joint
report to the President outlining a
strategy to expedite deployment of gun
safety technology, found here: https://
www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/
docs/final_report-smart_gun_report.pdf.
The report was published in response
to Presidential Memorandum,
Promoting Smart Gun Technology,
found here: https://
www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/
2016/01/05/memorandum-promotingsmart-gun-technology. The report
described the potential benefits of
advanced gun safety technology, but

noted that additional work was required
before this technology is ready for
widespread adoption by law
enforcement agencies. In particular, the
report stressed the importance of
integrating this technology into a
firearm’s design without compromising
the reliability, durability, and accuracy
that officers expect from their service
weapons.
To address these issues, the report
called on law enforcement agencies to
develop ‘‘baseline specifications,’’
which would outline the agencies’
operational requirements for any
firearms equipped with gun safety
technology. By developing baseline
specifications, federal, state, and
municipal law enforcement agencies
can make clear to private manufacturers
what they expect from this technology.
DOJ and DHS recently assembled a
working group of experts in firearms
technology to identify operational needs
and prepare a draft document that
defines generic baseline specifications
for law enforcement service pistols with
additional technology to enhance the
security of firearms. The additional
security specifications that may be
addressed by smart gun technology are
distinguished from more familiar
firearm safety mechanisms. The
distinction between safety and security
can be nuanced, and the additional
security specifications may also
function as safety features under certain
circumstances. However, this
distinction forms the basis of the use of
the different terminology.
The working group was led by NIJ and
was comprised of subject matter experts
from various federal law enforcement
agencies. The pistols defined by this
document are semi-automatic, recoiloperated, magazine-fed, striker-fired,
and fire 9 mm Luger or .40 S&W
ammunition. The information detailed
in this document is informed in part by
specifications enumerated in recent
handgun solicitations by the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and
Immigration of Customs Enforcement
(ICE), which are publicly available on
FedBizOpps (https://www.fbo.gov) under
solicitation numbers RFP–OSCU–
DSU1503 and HSCEMS–16–R–00003,
respectively.
