2. AUDITS:

During the reporting month there were 11 full service audits conducted. There were 3 on-site audits conducted for agencies obtaining "inquiry only" from the CJIS network; 16 criminal justice E-Audits; 19 non-criminal justice audits; and 15 fingerprint/disposition audits. The total number of audits conducted during FY2012: 323.

3. TRAINING:

GCIC personnel provided 648 hours of training to 1,188 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.

Robert Kiseleff was introduced as the new NEC Project Manager that will assist with the implementation of the new AFIS. Within the next 30 days there will be WebEx sessions to review the screens and provide feedback for system tweaking.

5. SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY RE-DESIGN 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Performance Audit Operations conducted an audit on the Georgia SOR and their findings indicated that the SOR is an outdated and inflexible computer system; the registry does not fully meet the needs of law enforcement monitoring and investigating sex offenders and that the public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.
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 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: Data migration of offender data from the current database continues into the text Sex Offender Registry Tool (SORT) server for the move to the SORT production server. The production server is being configured with the identical platform and applications as the Test server; the production server is still on schedule to be available for GBI access by December 1, 2011. The GBI Application Support team gained portal access with help from AT&T personnel.
The background check for the contract employee being hired to customize the SORT application for GBI is pending approval. GBI representatives met with the GTA Critical Project Review Panel to provide an update of the project.
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: The project meetings were halted by IBM and GTA for most of October. However, the GBI team met with IBM and GTA on Friday, October 28th to discuss the resources that would be needed by the GBI to complete this project. The GBI team is currently evaluating our available resources.
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 Georgia's website design using Drupal.
Monthly Update: The new Drupal templates will not be available until January 2012, but the team continues to:
Improve readability to meet the e-government's recommendation of content being at a 5th grade reading level.
Add pictures to complement existing text. Delete any old/expired content.
12

Identify content that links to external sites and add an alert to notify the public that they are leaving the GBI website.
