2. AUDITS: During the reporting month there were 19 full service audits conducted. There were 2 on-site audits conducted for agencies obtaining "inquiry only" from the CJIS network; 2 criminal justice E-Audits; 30 non-criminal justice audits; and 31 fingerprint/disposition audits. The total number of audits conducted during FY2012: 708.

3. TRAINING: GCIC personnel provided 189 hours of training to 727 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.

For the month of March the Statement of Work (SOW), Proof of Delivery for the hardware and Acceptance Test Plan were finalized and signed. Invoices were paid for user training ($150,000) and hardware delivery ($300,000).

The NIST conversion of slap prints is continuing. All AFIS remote sites have the new workstation installed.

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Performance Audit Operations conducted an audit on the Georgia SOR and their findings indicated that the SOR is an outdated and inflexible computer system; the registry does not fully meet the needs of law enforcement monitoring and investigating sex offenders and that the public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.

11

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 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: A new Project Change Request (PCR) was submitted to extend IBM's involvement through April 16, 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, has completed customization of the SORT application in the following areas:
Verification Basis Dates Re-design of initial process Changed the initial process to simply auto-calculate the current appearance dates for an offender based on the offender's DOB. This improves the entire process by: a. Eliminating the need to run additional DB scripts. b. Eliminating the need to run and maintain an additional c# program on the web server. c. Eliminating the need to run and maintain a lot of unnecessary c# code. d. Allowing the appearance dates in the summary bar to dynamically adjust if the offender's type or DOB is changed. e. Allowing us to move away from displaying and using the Verification Basis date. f. Simplifying the overall process.
Modifications to form Added new Verified Information field to form; Set the new Verified Information dropdown list to load from the following XML File: Jurisdiction Admin> Offenders> VerificationDatesXML> VerificationDatesXML.xml Integrated field into the auditing process; Added field to the gridview on the Verification Dates form; Set field to be required
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.
12

Monthly Update: The Network and Application information gathering sessions are approximately 100% complete and scheduled to be completed by March 28. GBI has completed a project plan to develop the UAT Plan. Final approval of BOM was submitted to procurement Team 04/02/12. Scheduled White Board sessions for SCON HLD interim reviews. Scheduled GBI/GTA business council meetings.

The upcoming critical path tasks/milestones/deliverables for the project are:

In addition to the SCON project, the team continues to participate in meetings to address: GBI's archival requirements and the method in which IBM will back-up agency data (TSM) Active Directory/eMail transformation is targeted to begin in 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: GTA unveiled the new website designs at a seminar on February 23rd, GBI will pick one out of eight different designs. GTA has also scheduled the GBI website to be migrated to Drupal in July. The team continues to:

Improve readability to meet the e-government's recommendation of content being at a 5th 8th 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.
