Abstract
When you receive a hit on the ATF Violent Felon File, proceed with caution, but do not search, detain, or arrest based solely on an ATF Violent Felon File hit. Make sure the subject you inquire upon is identical with the subject of the record. Contact ATF only if the subject is in possession of a firearm. Use the 800 number listed in the record. A record may be entered into the NCIC Gun File for any stolen or recovered gun. When entering a record, be sure to enter the correct serial number. Enter all available information to improve the probability of a hit. When a hit is received, examine all information and confirm the hit before you take any action.
