PLANS & PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT
APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT - Protective Order Registry
Project Description - To provide better information sharing, the Georgia Protective Order Registry (POR) is being updated to improve record data quality and expanding database capabilities by replacing the existing application and infrastructure.
Monthly Update - The new POR system continues to operate successfully as more users are added to the system. Several monthly and user reports were designed and implemented.
CHILD FATALITY SYSTEM REVIEW PROJECT
Project Description - The Child Fatality Review (CFR) unit requested an enhancement to their current process to capture Medical Examiners (ME) data for child related deaths in the State of Georgia and have asked for additional reporting capabilities.
Monthly Update - The developer is continuing to work on developing a SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services) package.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE EXCHANGE PROJECT
Project Description - The Georgia Bureau of Investigation will programmatically own an initiative of the Governor's Office entitled Criminal Justice Exchange Project (CJEP). CJEP will incorporate the electronic exchanges of information between state and local criminal justice agencies in Georgia. Each exchange automates a manual, paper-based criminal justice business process and will follow a criminal case lifecycle from booking through disposition and supervision. The goals of the project are to create seamless connections between systems, establish a single, consistent architecture adopted to guide all aspects of program implementation and to establish a governance structure that views criminal justice as a statewide community. The exchanges will involve the coordination of multiple agencies and vendor applications.
Monthly Update - GBI, GTA, Consultants, Statewide Stakeholders and vendors continue to meet and work towards the completion of project data exchanges by the October 2018 release date. GBI is working with the vendor on applying patches for Transport Layer Security (TLS) which will allow HTTPS communications to web services. GBI is waiting on an Oracle solution for the problem with the database not returning client certificates to the Enterprise Serial Bus (BUS) as part of the SSL secure handshake.
CUSTOMER SUPPORT - TRAINING
Project Description - The Customer Support Training group provides training in GCIC programs, GCIC applications, GCIC/FBI compliance and other supported law enforcement training to both criminal and non-criminal justice agencies, municipal, magistrate and probate courts across the State of Georgia. The group extends the option to receive classroom training or training within an e-Learning environment.
15

Monthly Update - The GBI online Learning Management System contains several videos and online classroom training available to agencies and vendors of law enforcement agencies. The trainings completed online and within the classrooms for the month are included in the charts. The LMS Staff handled 201 phone calls, 790 emails and managed LMS user account additions. The Customer Support Training team also developed and delivered agency training on GCIC programs/applications, and the training staff completed teach backs to gain insight and feedback for improving overall quality of training content and delivery.

DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE (DOR) DRIVES PROJECT
Project Description - The purpose of this project is to document, configure, integrate, and test two interfaces with the new Georgia Department of Revenue (DOR) Driver Record and Integrated Vehicle Enterprise System (DRIVES). The two new interfaces will use existing LEMS Web Services capabilities with National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) Extensible Markup Language (XML) message formats. One interface will be used to send and receive vehicle registration queries and responses to and from DRIVES. The other interface will be used to receive stolen vehicle requests and responses to and from DRIVES.
Monthly Update - GBI continues to work through several troubleshooting issues with vendors to address port access between DOR and GBI test environments. GBI completed the checklist requirements for the web service line and followed up with NCIC to confirm the IP addresses. GBI's IT Network group is working on securing the needed certificate for the web service. Once received, the certificate will be sent to NCIC.
FINANCE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE (AR) SYSTEM PROJECT
Project Description - GBI Finance/Accounting requested a new accounts receivable system to process fee invoices and payments.
Monthly Update - The Project Completion document was submitted to the project sponsors and is awaiting final signature from the Finance Director. This project is complete and will be removed from the monthly report.
GCIC TRAINING SYMPOSIUM
Project Description - The GCIC Training Symposium is designed to offer continuing education with the goal of providing vital knowledge regarding GCIC and federal law enforcement programs to both the criminal justice and non-criminal communities.
Monthly Update - The project team continues to complete tasks for the symposium. Over 800 paid registrations have been received.
17

GEORGIA APPLICANT PROCESSING SYSTEM REPLACEMENT (GAPS) PROJECT
Project Description - The Georgia Crime Information Center Information Services is seeking to obtain the services of a qualified and experienced vendor to provide an applicant fingerprinting solution that will electronically capture and submit applicant fingerprints to the Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS). In addition, the selected vendor shall handle receiving fingerprint search results and disseminate the results to the requestor.
Monthly Update - The project kick-off meeting was held. Weekly meetings were scheduled to define requirements for development of the new GAPS.
HUMAN RESOURCES (HR) TIMESHEET PROJECT
Project Description - Enhancement of the application used by non-sworn units of the GBI for tracking time.
Monthly Update - No accomplishments for this reporting period.
INFORMATION SERVICES CRIMINAL HISTORY APPLICATION REDESIGN PROJECT
Project Description - A redesign of the web application used by Information Services staff to log and track activities performed on criminal history information as well as services performed for the public.
Monthly Update - The project is currently placed on hold. There are no accomplishments this reporting period.
LAW ENFORCEMENT MESSAGE SWITCH (LEMS)
Project Description - The message switch provides a means of communication between federal, state and local law enforcement agencies throughout the state of Georgia, the United States and other countries to take advantage of new features and advances in technology, GCIC is looking to upgrade or replace this system.
Monthly Update - Recommendations from the Georgia Technology Authority and the project sponsors were included in the requirements and submitted to the project team for review.
NATIONAL INCIDENT-BASED REPORTING SYSTEM (NIBRS) PROJECT
Project Description - The National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) collects data on each single incident and arrest for each offense coming to the attention of law enforcement for which specific facts about each crime is collected. GBI is in the process of replacing the current UCR summary-based system with an application that will collect incident-based data.
Monthly Update - The Family Violence FTP data transmissions were shut down by GBI and the CJIS Ops team began testing uploads to the NIBRS system for Family Violence. Local agencies began successfully entering Family Violence data directly into NIBRS.
18

SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY TOOL (SORT) ENHANCEMENT PROJECT Project Description - System enhancements for the SORT application. Phase 1 will consist of modifications to the application used by Sheriff's Offices, the public website, NCIC web services and SORT Reports. Phase 2 will focus on the web service between SORT and AFIS for the upload of SORT documentation. Monthly Update - The vendor continues to support the integration of the SORT application with the IntegraID application through testing & internal access to SORT. The vendor copied the test environment to production while the GBI application developer fully tested the integration and ensured errors were corrected. The GBI developer has installed scanning software into the SORT application which will provide end users with the ability to scan documentation directly into the SORT application. Watch Systems (Offender Watch) receives bi-weekly updates on GBI's vendor progress and continues to support the vendor's application development. SHAREPOINT CONFIGURATION PROJECT Project Description - The SharePoint tool will be used as an internal web portal for organizing and sharing information as an employee collaborative tool for internal communication. The portal will also include an Intranet application for each of the three GBI divisions that would allow content management, document repository and information sharing of announcements, news and department information. Monthly Update - No accomplishments for this reporting period.
