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. CFR staff determined that the sizing issue with the Excel comment section was acceptable.
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 developer provided a CRM Demo for the trainers. The LMS Trainer is working on CRM content for end users. The project manager is working on the CRM project schedule and timeline for completion of the internal phase of the project.
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 - Trainings completed online and within the classrooms are included in the charts. The Training Staff handled 82 phone calls, 639 emails, processed 38 crystal reports and managed LMS user account additions.

DEPARTMENT OF DRIVERS SERVICES (DDS) DRIVES PROJECT Project Description - The Georgia Driver Record and Integrated Vehicle Enterprise System (DRIVES) is a system upgrade to update and enhance the title and vehicle registration functions of the Department of Revenue. The system utilizes modern technology to streamline existing processes and enable more online services. The implementation date of phase 2 is January 2021. Monthly Update - The team continues test DQ and KQ transactions and modifications will be made to Portal XL to accommodate the new DRIVES transactions.
15

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 - GAPS has been experiencing system outages which are causing a delay in the completion of tasks for end-to-end testing of the new system.
GEORGIA LAW ENFORCEMENT MESSAGE SWITCH (GLEMS) Project Description - The message switch provides a means of communication between federal, state and local law enforcement agencies throughout the state of Georgia, the United States and other countries and to take advantage of new features and advances in technology, GCIC is looking to upgrade or replace this system. Monthly Update - RFP was posted February 26.
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 NIBRS Overview Help document has been posted to the Public Portal. The 2018 Crime Statistics menu has been completed but due to an issue with 2017 and 2018 data counts, statistics have not been published to the Public Portal.
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 AFIS integration testing began with CCH. Due to personnel turnover with GAPS vendor (Thales), business requirements are being reviewed with this group.
