*AT&T installed the Iprism license for the GBI web filtering appliance that had expired. The Internet was down and the SSL/VPN could not be accessed. Total impact was 15.50 hours.

2. AUDITS:

During the reporting month there were 6 full service audits conducted. There were 8 on-site audits conducted for agencies obtaining "inquiry only" from the CJIS network and 1 followup audit. The audits conducted during January bring the FY2010 total to 191.

3. TRAINING:

GCIC personnel provided 186 hours of training to 445 criminal justice agency employees during the month.

4. AFIS REPLACEMENT

Project Description: GCIC is seeking to replace the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's 20 year old Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS). The AFIS replacement will enhance 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: The AFIS replacement is funded by a GEMA grant. A requirement for the use of grant funds is that the 27 local AFIS remote sites must sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with GEMA to allow GBI to use the funds. The signing of the MOU is in progress and it is expected that all agencies will have signed by the end of February.

5. MOBILE BIOMETRIC FINGERPRINT IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (RAPID I.D.) Project Description: The Mobile Biometric Fingerprint Identification Project is a pilot project designed to test improvement in the efficiency and effectiveness of law enforcement justice operations in the metropolitan Atlanta area through use of mobile biometric fingerprint identification processes linked to jails and participating agencies through a GBI server containing a central fingerprint database and index.

This pilot project will support mobile flat print searches of a centralized database at the Georgia Bureau of Investigation headquarters through handheld fingerprint devices. At startup, each affected jail and participating agency must have existing inmates' fingerprints

11

and/or master criminal fingerprint records, meeting a predetermined formula, converted to digitized fingerprint images and data for inclusion in the central fingerprint database. In addition, the centralized database will contain descriptive information and index pointers to records located at various area jails and participating agencies.

Monthly Update: The first roll-out group of agencies was successfully installed and trained; the first group included Duluth Police Department, Forest Park Police Department and Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office.

DataWorks Plus is currently gathering the right index and right middle finger to be included with the left index and left middle finger of the individual's fingerprint master set on the Rapid ID database.

DataWorks Plus continues to draft the System Design Document for the Rapid ID system. Completion of the System Design Document along with the completion of Onsite Testing is included in the contractual agreement for the first payment to DataWorks. Once the document is completed, DataWorks Plus will receive 25% of the total cost proposed for the system (onsite tests have already been completed). More testing and documentation will follow throughout the progression of the project.
