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 focused on the Image Archive system expansion. The expansion allowed 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 introduced 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 National Institute of Standards and Technology (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 pixels per inch (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 the FBI should include the photo if a photo is received with the transaction. 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 Latent Fingerprint Feature Searches (LFFS) and Latent Fingerprint Image Search (LFIS) files for latent input. 10. Continue to accept and process EBTS v9.x transactions that conform to GBI edits.
Accomplishments This Reporting Period
NGI Increment 4-EBTS 10.0 Compliance: Four (4) vendors have successfully completed certification.
Tasks in Progress
CCH/Ident and Applicant Services Requested Enhancements:
Work continues on the remaining 10 enhancements (Courtview). Event Log Partitioning is in test, awaiting release to production. Creation of Charging Court Segment Entry Report awaiting user specifications.

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 implementation of the SORT Public Website and the establishment of a web service between the SORT and Department of Corrections' SCRIBE system for data transfer. Additional phases include the integration of SORT with the NEC Image Archive (AFIS/IA) and customized photo and reporting enhancements.
Monthly Update Additional testing needed on the design documentation for the SORT Entry Service Client.
Accomplishments This Reporting Period A new SORT Message Service was uploaded to the SORT production system. This upgrade corrected errors that SORT was having with Name changes being sent without the suffix and supplemental rejects in the employment field being sent to NCIC.

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 Initial coding of internal entry functionality is complete. System demonstrations were conducted with stakeholders and end users. The Developer is making a second round of coding changes and functionality additions based on feedback received in demonstration sessions.
