2. AUDITS: During the reporting month there were 18 full service audits conducted. There were 24 on-site audits conducted for agencies obtaining "inquiry only" from the CJIS network; 11 criminal justice E-Audits; 11 non-criminal justice audits; and 18 fingerprint/disposition audits. The total number of audits conducted during FY2012: 517.

3. TRAINING: GCIC personnel provided 317.50 hours of training to 992 criminal justice agency employees during the month.

4. AFIS REPLACEMENT Project Description: GCIC is replacing the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's 22 year old Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS). The AFIS replacement enhances fingerprint identification services to permit identification of criminals more rapidly through the use of state of the art alternative search methods and information sharing.

Monthly Update: Weekly AFIS Replacement Project Manager and Monthly Executive status meetings are held to assure that the project remains on track.

Activation of the T3 line at GBI was successful on January 11, 2012. Acceptance tests of the new hardware were performed for GBI central and remote sites. Latent fingerprint, palm print, tenprint, image archive and Mideo Caseworks training began for the remote site users and internal GBI AFIS users.

5. SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY RE-DESIGN PROJECT Project Description: Georgia's Sex Offender Registry (SOR) was created in 1996 and the purpose of the SOR is to provide law enforcement with an efficient and effective method of monitoring sex offenders. In 2010, the Georgia Department of Audits and Accounts Performance Audit Operations conducted an audit on the Georgia SOR and their findings indicated that the SOR is an outdated and inflexible computer system; the registry does not fully meet the needs of law enforcement monitoring and investigating sex offenders and that the public website should provide more complete and accurate information. The information contained in the audit validated issues GBI had noted for some time regarding the need to improve and modernize the SOR.

To remedy the current database limitations, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) seeks to modernize and replace the SOR using web technologies, which will allow GBI to accommodate requests from sheriffs and other customers. Moving to web technologies will
11

ensure greater flexibility for the State to incorporate future updates or enhancements as dictated by state or federal legislation, operational needs, or public demands. Increased capabilities would also allow the sex offender database to link to other databases to help improve record accuracy or offender tracking, such as address verification or developing a link with the Department of Corrections for information on re-incarceration of offenders. Offender images would be stored in a format allowing sharing with the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) National Crime Information Center (NCIC) Convicted Sex Offender File for use by all criminal justice agencies throughout the United States. Access to the public registry would be real time instead of 24 hours old as with the current process of providing a daily update for public web presentation.

Monthly Update: Administrative access issues to the servers for the GCIC Application Support group were resolved. Because of the late resolution of administrative access issues, a Project Change Request (PCR) was submitted to extend IBM's involvement through February 13, 2012. The original closure date for IBM was January 13, 2012.

The SOR unit continues to work resolving the issue of matching charge codes entered on the registry with the corresponding NCIC code.

Jim McNeal, contractor hired to customize SORT, will set up a duplicate test system at his location in Florida and upload all customization changes remotely to the Georgia site. He has completed customization of the SORT application in the following areas:
Set-up duplicate test environment at the Florida site location Set-up source control correction testing & synchronization between sites Set-up remote connectivity between sites Set-up DB connection from web server; sync local audit tables Completed field addition/modifications Occupation fields; employment class
corrections

6. SERVER CONSOLIDATION PROJECT Project Description: The Georgia Technology Authority (GTA) will be consolidating production, test and developmental servers to the NADC. Consolidation and virtualization will enable the state to reduce the number of servers being supported. The team will identify which servers can be consolidated and the timeframe to complete the move.

Monthly Update: Network and Application information gathering sessions resumed on January 18, 2012. The upcoming critical path tasks/milestones/deliverables for the project are:

In addition to the SCON project, the team also participated in meetings to address GBI's archival requirements and the method in which IBM will back-up agency data (TSM) Active Directory transformation targeted for June 2012

7. WEBSITE RE-DESIGN PROJECT Project Description: The GBI website will be re-designed to better enable the public to find relevant, accurate, up-to-date information. In addition, each division will have a focal point identified to update their websites to improve efficiency. The new website will be consistent with the State of Georgia's website design using Drupal.

Monthly Update: The new Drupal templates will not be available until February 2012, but the team continues to:
Improve readability to meet the e-government's recommendation of content being at a 5th grade reading level.
Add pictures to complement existing text.
Delete any old/expired content. Identify content that links to external sites and add an alert to notify the public that
they are leaving the GBI website.
