Georgia Authorized Central Storage (ACS) Program Update
https://gbi.georgia.gov/meth-container-program 1st Quarter FY2020 (July 1 to September 30, 2019) During the 1st quarter, local and state law enforcement agencies used the Georgia ACS program to store and dispose of hazardous waste from 8 clandestine drug labs discovered in Georgia. The processing and packaging of materials resulted in 22 hazardous waste containers with a total volume of 210 gallons. The total weight of the hazardous waste was 190 pounds. All 9 Georgia ACS facilities were operational, and no facility "clean-outs" were necessary during the 1st quarter. The Georgia Public Safety Training Center (GPSTC) has a Clandestine Lab Awareness Course scheduled for November 14th and 15th. The Georgia ACS Program Coordinator, Special Agent in Charge Wayne Smith, has agreed to teach this course for GPSTC. The annual Georgia ACS Program certification course (session #139) has been scheduled for April 7-9, 2020 at GPSTC.

PLANS AND PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT
CHILD FATALITY SYSTEM REVIEW PROJECT
Project Description - The Child Fatality Review (CFR) unit requested an enhancement to their current process to capture Medical Examiners (ME) data for child related deaths in the State of Georgia and have asked for additional reporting capabilities.
Monthly Update - The developer continues coding for the application.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE EXCHANGE PROJECT (CJEP)
Project Description - CJEP will incorporate the electronic exchanges of information between state and local criminal justice agencies in Georgia and will involve the coordination of multiple agencies and vendor applications. The goals of the project are to create seamless connections between systems, establish a single, consistent architecture adopted to guide all aspects of program implementation and to establish a governance structure that views criminal justice as a statewide community.
Monthly Update - Progress with project development continues and all codes for the exchanges in the production environment. The vendors continued testing exchange activities for Sentence Order v1.7 and Service Notification v1.13. All tasks for the project reset were met and the team is awaiting approval to begin tasks for Phase 1 roll-out.
CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT (CRM)
Project Description - The CRM Application Project will provide a single source of historical interaction with GCIC external customers. The application will give GCIC end users the ability to search, track and report customer interactions throughout GCIC's business units.
Monthly Update - The CRM project application recently experienced technical issues which caused a project delay due to down time. The work unit UAT is scheduled to begin the latter part of September 2019.
CUSTOMER SUPPORT & TRAINING
Project Description - The Customer Support Training group provides training in GCIC programs, GCIC applications, GCIC/FBI compliance to criminal justice agencies across the State of Georgia. The group extends the option to receive classroom training or training within an e-Learning environment.
Monthly Update - The trainings completed online and within the classrooms for the month are included in the charts. The LMS Staff handled 124 phone calls, 1,061 emails, processed 12 crystal reports and managed LMS user account additions.

GEORGIA APPLICANT PROCESSING SERVICE (GAPS) PROJECT
Project Description - The Georgia Crime Information Center Information Services is seeking to obtain the services of a qualified and experienced vendor to provide an applicant fingerprinting solution that will electronically capture and submit applicant fingerprints to the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS). In addition, the selected vendor shall handle receiving fingerprint search results and disseminate the results to the requestor.
Monthly Update - The vendor reported a delay in correcting issues found during testing and the expected completion date has been extended to December 2019.
16

HUMAN RESOURCE (HR) TIMESHEET PROJECT Project Description - Enhancement of the application used by non-sworn units of the GBI for tracking time. Monthly Update - There are no accomplishments for this reporting period.
NATIONAL INCIDENT-BASED REPORTING SYSTEM (NIBRS) PROJECT Project Description - The National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) collects data on each single incident and arrest for each offense coming to the attention of law enforcement for which specific facts about each crime is collected. GBI is in the process of replacing the current UCR summary-based system with an application that will collect incident-based data. Monthly Update - The team completed the upgrade of GATEST NIBRS Repository NIBRS 3.1 to NIBRS 2019. GBI reviewed the third draft of the Georgia Publication and provided the changes to proceed with the final 2018 Georgia Publication. GA NIBRS Repository has integrated web services for agencies to submit data to the repository. The vendor and GBI completed critical research and data code analysis and the vendor will proceed with correcting legacy data and cleanup of duplicates. GBI approved reports shared by the vendor. The vendor will create and assign agency administrator contributor roles for GBI's approval before going live. The GBI will not pursue FBI XML Certification at this time instead data will be submitted to the FBI in a flat file format.
RAP BACK PROJECT Project Description - The Rap Back project will provide the ability to receive ongoing status notifications of criminal history activity reported on individuals holding positions of trust. Georgia's Rap Back System will include the retention of applicant fingerprints, the implementation of an FBI Rap Back Subscription on such prints, and the creation of a validation process for authorized entities to manage such subscriptions. Monthly Update - The AFIS vendor is installing the IFW application in their test environment for development and testing of the Rap Back project. Testing will impact the scheduled Live Scan certification for Crossmatch, however; the AFIS vendor will take measures to minimize the impact. Development is progressing with the proposed timeline for the overall project.
