An additional 1,000 officers with the department are expected to participate in the initiative by the end of 2013.

Agents can use JusticeMobile on their iPads to check potential gun buyers at weekend firearms shows statewide by checking names against the Bureau of Firearms Armed Prohibited Persons (APPS) database.”
