2. AUDITS:

During the reporting month there were 18 full service audits conducted. There were 19 on-site audits conducted for agencies obtaining "inquiry only" from the CJIS network; 1 follow-up audit; 1 criminal justice E-Audits; 1 non-criminal justice audits; and 11 fingerprint/disposition audits. The total number of audits conducted during FY2012: 374.

3. TRAINING:

GCIC personnel provided 228.50 hours of training to 840 criminal justice agency employees during the month.

4. AFIS REPLACEMENT Project Description: GCIC is replacing the Georgia Bureau of Investigations 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 WebEx to review the tenprint and latent function screens agenda was provided and the WebEx was scheduled December 1st. NEC and CBM Archives had a conference call to discuss NIST file issues in the CBM image archive system. The TNET workstations and printers were delivered and are being installed. The wiring for the new AFIS power requirement in the GCIC computer room is complete.

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Performance Audit Operations conducted an audit on the Georgia SOR and their findings indicated that the SOR is an outdated and inflexible computer system; the registry does not fully meet the needs of law enforcement monitoring and investigating sex offenders and that the public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

11

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 Investigations (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: Minor issues were resolved with the SOR project System Administrator and the Database Administrator for IBM which caused a slight delay in completing the configuration for the SOR Prod server. The projected completion of server configurationDecember 5th.
The SOR Project team met and discussed eliminating the ,,99 codes that are on the current SOR database. The ,,99 codes are codes that require a literal description of an offense. These codes should be eliminated from the SOR because each code in the SOR database should match a corresponding NCIC code. Each ,,99 code that is eliminated will be replaced with the correct NCIC code. The SOR unit is working with relative agencies to resolve this issue.
GBI will contract with Jim McNeal to complete the customization of the SORT application for the SOR. Because McNeal is a former employee of the company, Institute for Intergovernmental Research (IIR), which designed the SORT application, GBI has to contract directly with McNeal and receive reimbursement for payments through the Bureau of Justice federal grant funds. Contract negotiations with McNeal are pending.
6. SERVER CONSOLIDATION PROJECT Project Description: The Georgia Technology Authority (GTA) will be consolidating production, test and developmental servers to the NADC. Consolidation and virtualization will enable the state to reduce the number of servers being supported. The team will identify which servers can be consolidated and the timeframe to complete the move.
Monthly Update: IBM and AT&T continue to work on the master server inventory list to finalize which servers will be part of the SCON project. The SCON Business Council met on November 29th to discuss GBI resource requirements. A decision will be made in early December once the server list is complete and GBI has a better understanding of the resources needed to complete the project.
The SCON team met with DOR, DDS, DJJ, and OPB on December 9th to discuss lessons learned from their past migrations.
7. WEBSITE RE-DESIGN PROJECT Project Description: The GBI website will be re-designed to better enable the public to find relevant, accurate, up-to-date information. In addition, each division will have a focal point identified to update their websites to improve efficiency. The new website will be consistent with the State of Georgias website design using Drupal.
12

Monthly Update: The new Drupal templates will not be available until January 2012, but the team continues to:

Improve readability to meet the e-governments recommendation of content being at a 5th grade reading level.
Add pictures to complement existing text.
Delete any old/expired content.
Identify content that links to external sites and add an alert to notify the public that they are leaving the GBI website.
