Monthly Update - The first training draft is completed and pending review for approval. 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.

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 - GBI is testing the KQ against the new systems and making modifications as needed. GBI and the DRIVES project team discussed testing, training and communication plans and the plan is to implement the same strategy used for DOR/DRIVES.
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 - All open issues were scheduled to be resolved the end of July but were not met. The project team meets daily for troubleshooting calls between GBI and the vendor.
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 - The technical evaluations and the cost evaluations were completed. DOAS is currently reviewing the list of references and vendor backgrounds.
HUMAN RESOURCE (HR) TIMESHEET PROJECT
Project Description - Enhancement of the application used by non-sworn units of the GBI for tracking time.
Monthly Update Work continues on the employee/supervisor signature and approval page. Updates were made to accept a user id of up to 100 characters and modifications were made for the 9 and 10 hours work programming code.
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.
16

Monthly Update - The NIBRS implementation has been postponed due to several issues and problems discovered during UAT. The vendor has provided resolutions for most of the items. GBI will meet with the vendor to further discuss the XML conversion and the ability to test XML files without having to submit them one by one. The vendor is still evaluating the Incidence Report submission issues while GBI will continue testing and provide approval and/or feedback. 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 team is reviewing the Next Generation Identification (NGI) Noncriminal Justice Rap Back Service Participation Plan Appendix 2 which must be completed and submitted to the FBI for approval before the Rap Back system can go live.
