Plans and Program Development
AFIS REPLACEMENT
Project Description-- GCIC replaced the Georgia Bureau of Investigation's 22 year old Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS). The AFIS replacement enhanced fingerprint identification services to permit identification of criminals more rapidly through the use of state of the art alternative search methods and information sharing. Phase II of the project focuses on the Image Archive system expansion. The expansion allows divisions within GBI to store documents and easily retrieve when needed. Phase III focused on the FBI's Next Generation Identification (NGI) Increment 3 implementation which introduces two new features: palm submission capability and the use of the EFS (Extended Feature Set) profiles for latent searches of AFIS systems.
The project is in Phase IV which focuses on the FBI's Electronic Biometric Specification Transmission (EBTS) v10.0 compliance for greater compatibility to NGI 4.
Listed below are changes required for T-Net and AFIS:
1. Accept and process any EBTS v10.0 live scan submission that conforms to GBI edits. 2. Ignore additional NIST record types allowed by EBTS v10.0 but are not required by GBI
and successfully pass a full NIST record to the FBI if needed. 3. Accept and process NIST transactions which submit Type 14 1000 ppi fingerprint images. 4. Ensure all incoming to GBI and outgoing to FBI transactions are in EBTs v10.0 format. 5. AFIS transactions sent to FBI should include a photo if the transaction is received with the
photo. 6. Store NIST file contained in NIST record types not used by AFIS in Image Archive. 7. Send FBI bound submissions from Individual Fingerprint Workstation (IFW) as EBTS
v10.0. 8. Support EBTS v10.0 compliant inbound and outbound transactions on the interoperability
interface. 9. Import EBTS v10.0 LFFS and LFIS files for latent input. 10. Continue to accept and process EBTS v9.x transactions that conform to GBI edits.

Accomplishments This Reporting Period
Change Order GBI2014-04 One of four items implemented Filter FBI Reject Notifications to GBI Mailbox.
NGI Increment 3: Acceptance Test Plan review complete.
SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY REDESIGN PROJECT
Project Description - In October 2012 GBI implemented a new sex offender management application, Sex Offender Registry Tool (SORT). SORT is a more modernized system that uses the latest web technologies to provide local law enforcement access to centralized up-to-date information of sex offenders in their jurisdictions. Local agency staff has direct access to offender data with limited administrative authority to manage users.
The remaining phases of the project include the establishment of a web service between the SORT and Department of Corrections' SCRIBE system for data transfer, the integration of SORT with the AFIS Image Archive (IA) and customized photo and reporting enhancements.
Monthly Update The SORT project team continues to monitor SORT transactions. Design development for the SORT Entry Service is in progress.
Accomplishments This Reporting Period
Due to SCON project limited activity occurred in this area.
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.
Monthly Update The last Business Council meeting was held July 16, 2014.
Accomplishments This Reporting Period
Production Cut Over Event completed successfully on 8/10/14 All production cut over User Acceptance Testing was done successfully during the

August.
ADVANCED AUTHENTICATION
Project Description -- GBI is working with RSA to implement a solution that will meet requirements outlined in the FBI CJIS Security Policy 5.0 for advanced authentication. The RSA product will integrate seamlessly with the State of Georgia's existing SSL VPN and will offer a comprehensive multi-factor layered protection for all users.
16

Monthly Update The GBI continues to make progress in the implementation of the Advanced Authentication services to integrate with the SSLX-VPN product.
Accomplishments This Reporting Period
The Request for Solution (RFS) for the fail-over plan was submitted.
SORNA REALLOCATION GRANT PROJECT
Project Description - GBI received a Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA) grant award from the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) to assist the State in moving towards compliance with the SORNA portion of the Adam Walsh Act. One of the line items within this grant is the purchase of live scan devices to be used by the Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) to capture fingerprints and palm prints to verify the identity of individuals entering the State Prison system. Another item included in this grant is the configuration of CCH to accept information from the GBI Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS).
Monthly Update Implementation is set for the week of November 2, 2014. The Division of Forensic Science (DOFS) provided the stored procedure and database access for the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) to Unisys. Unisys completed the configuration for the LIMS Connector and DNA Profile Status Message.
Accomplishments This Reporting Period
DOFS provided stored procedure and database log-in information for the LIMS to Unisys. Unisys completed configuration and documentation for the LIMS Connector and DNA
Profile Status message.
FILE SERVICES TRANSFORMATION/CONSOLIDATION PROJECT
Project Description-- Move identified GBI File Server data from existing legacy hardware to new operationally stable and supportable hardware.
Monthly Update A C3PO server was installed at GBI HQ and 18 R2D2 servers were installed in regional investigative offices throughout the state. The migration of data from the old servers to the new servers is scheduled to start Jan 1, 2015.
Accomplishments This Reporting Period
New C3PO server for GBI-Data at HQ has been delivered and installed. R2D2 server has been delivered and installed at Kingsland. R2D2 servers have been delivered to Forsyth, Statesboro, Eastman and Douglas. Identified that temperatures are above standard operating temperatures in the majority of
designated server rooms in regional offices where new R2D2 servers should be installed.
GEORGIA SECONDARY METAL RECYCLER PROJECT
Project Description O.C.G.A. 10-1-360.1 and 10-1-353 require that GBI establish and maintain a database of required purchase transaction information from secondary metal recyclers that is accessible and searchable by Georgia law enforcement agencies.

Monthly Update Contract was awarded to LeadsOnline and working with vendor on kick-off meeting date.
Accomplishments This Reporting Period
Vendor evaluation completed. Notice of Intent to Award (NOIA) posted and ended on August 17th. Reviewed and updated changes involving vendor contract. The contract awarded to LeadsOnline.
FINANCE AP UPLOAD PROJECT
Project Description In an effort to improve efficiency in operations, the GBI Accounting Department is seeking to automate the uploading of invoice/payment transactions to Teamworks thus reducing, if not eliminating, the amount of data entry. The two areas for uploading transactions are the CJCC Victim's Compensation payments and various internal payments. The GBI Accounting Department has secured a contractor for the project and has obtained programming for a macro enabled spreadsheet that meets the State Accounting Office (SAO) flat file requirements (2010) from the GA Soil & Water Conservation Commission. This will serve as the starting point for the contactor in automating the upload of internal payments. The contractor will work with the CJCC to define what is needed to automate the uploading of invoice/payment transactions in their Crime Management Information System.
Monthly Update Discovery for automating the upload of internal payments continues. The contractor hired to assist in automating the upload of internal payments was terminated for failing to produce requested changes. The Applications Development unit is in the process of identifying an internal resource to add to the project team. CJCC provided a sample flat file extract from their Case Management system for review.
Accomplishments This Reporting Period
Discovery meetings and discussions with project contractor for internal AP Upload process.
Review of SAO flat files layout, Soil & Water spreadsheet (example), and questions to SAO on formatting and testing procedure.
Contractor terminated for failure to produce. Flat file extract sample provided by CJCC for review.
