What Is The USBDC?
BATS “links” agencies to the U.S. Bomb Data Center (USBDC) which Congress and the Attorney General have entrusted with maintaining a repository of arson & explosives incidents. BATS is central to the USBDC’s mission to standardize the reporting of explosives, bombing, and fire incident information from law enforcement and firefighting authorities to facilitate case analysis and comparison in order to provide investigative leads and intelligence.
