2. AUDITS:

During the reporting month there were 21 full service audits conducted. There were 15 on-site audits conducted for agencies obtaining "inquiry only" from the CJIS network; 1 follow-up audit; 6 criminal justice E-Audits; 25 non-criminal justice audits; and 14 fingerprint/disposition audits. The total number of audits conducted during FY2012: 195.

3. TRAINING:

GCIC personnel provided 314 hours of training to 1,091 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. The Project Director, Project Manager and NEC Project Manager met with the GTA Critical Project Review Panel to provide an update of the project. The panel is impressed at how efficiently GBI is handling this project.

An order was placed for a T3 line to be installed to replace the existing connection to AFIS. The T3 provides more bandwidth that allows for the larger data packet to be sent and received within the expected timeframe. A site survey for the T3 connectivity was performed by AT&T.

The live scan specification was modified to reflect the changes and additions for the new AFIS; therefore each live scan vendor has to re-certify the software for their live scan device. The CJIS Security Password Policy requirements must be met by all live scan vendors to complete the certification process. All live scan systems must be in compliance with the CJIS Security Password Policy by 2013 or they will no longer be able to submit arrest information electronically to GCIC.

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Performance Audit Operations conducted an audit on the Georgia SOR and their findings indicated that the SOR is an outdated and inflexible computer system; the registry does not fully meet the needs of law enforcement monitoring and investigating sex offenders and that the public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

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: Representatives from IBM, GTA and GBI conferenced daily to ensure the SOR test environment met the targeted installation date and work progressed on the Technical Specification Document (TSD) for the production environment.

As a result of the daily conferences, technical requirements for hardware and software were completed for both the test and production environments. In addition, a project timeline was developed for the test system and GBI is now able to access the test server and software installs have begun. A Letter of Approval (LOA) was signed by GBI for the procurement of hardware for the production environment and the Custom Solution Proposal (CSP) was completed by IBM and presented to GTA for review.

The SOR continues on target of the newly projected timeline.
