2. AUDITS: During the reporting month there were 30 full service audits conducted. There were 5 on-site audits conducted for agencies obtaining "inquiry only" from the CJIS network; 43 criminal justice E-Audits; 19 non-criminal justice audits; and 10 fingerprint/disposition audits. The total number of audits conducted during FY2012: 624.

3. TRAINING: GCIC personnel provided 252.50 hours of training to 580 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.

Latent fingerprint, palm print, tenprint, image archive and Mideo Caseworks training was completed for the remote site users and internal GBI AFIS users. Proof of Delivery documentation for the hardware and user training were signed and invoices were requested from NEC.

Installation of AFIS remote workstations began with Fulton County S.O. and will continue to install all other remote agencies through April.

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Performance Audit Operations conducted an audit on the Georgia SOR and their findings indicated that the SOR is an outdated and inflexible computer system; the registry does not fully meet the needs of law enforcement monitoring and investigating sex offenders and that the public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: A new Project Change Request (PCR) was submitted to extend IBM's involvement through March 19, 2012. The original closure date for IBM was February 13, 2012.
The SOR unit continues to work resolving the issue of matching charge codes entered on the registry with the corresponding NCIC code; a preliminary draft has been completed.
Jim McNeal, contractor hired to customize SORT, has completed customization of the SORT application in the following areas:
Completed field addition/modifications Occupation fields; employment class corrections
Screen Tables SMT Modifications Corrected bugs in SORT Completed the following forms:
o Offender Form o Address/Employment/School Forms o Vehicle Form Management Console Lookup Tables o Relationship Types o Vehicle Ownership o Boats o NCIC Offense Codes o Offense Codes o NCIC SMTs & types
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 Network and Application information gathering sessions are approximately 90% complete and scheduled to be completed by March 6. The upcoming critical path tasks/milestones/deliverables for the project are:

In addition to the SCON project, the team continues to participate in meetings to address: GBI's archival requirements and the method in which IBM will back-up agency data (TSM) Active Directory/eMail transformation is targeted to begin in June 2012

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: GTA unveiled the new website designs at a seminar on February 23rd, GBI will pick one out of eight different designs. GTA has also scheduled the GBI website to be migrated to Drupal in July. The team continues to:

Improve readability to meet the e-government's recommendation of content being at a 5th 8th 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.
