PLANS & PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT
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 the CFR application.
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 - The signing of Senate Bill 407 established the Criminal Case Data Exchange Board which will replace the previous Criminal Justice e-Filing Project (CJEP) Governance Committee. GBI, GTA, consultants, statewide stakeholders and vendors continue to meet and work towards the completion of the primary data exchanges (October 2018 December 2018); secondary exchanges are estimated to be implemented February 2019 March 2019.
CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT (CRM) APPLICATION PROJECT
Project Description - The CRM Application Project will provide a single source of historical interaction with GCIC external customers. The application will give GCIC end users the ability to search, track and report customer interactions throughout GCIC's business units.
Monthly Update - The CRM team began contacting agencies to confirm their ORI validation and contact information and forwarded a newly created form to assist in updating agency information in the CRM database. The address information collected is being verified using US Postal Service Address preferred format. The CRM dashboard was redesigned to view required case data and business process workflows are being created for service request types.
CUSTOMER SUPPORT - TRAINING
Project Description - The Customer Support Training group provides training in GCIC programs, GCIC applications, GCIC/FBI compliance to criminal justice agencies across the State of Georgia. The group extends the option to receive classroom training or training within an e-Learning environment.

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 - The firewall ports were opened and have been tested. GBI's vendor continues to test the web services connection between GBI and DOR. GBI is testing the port connection with the other web service connection to NCIC and waiting for the configurations to be completed.
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 close-out meeting for the Symposium was held September 4th to discuss this year's successes and improvements for 2019.
GEORGIA APPLICANT PROCESSING SERVICE (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 DRS document was approved by GBI and the vendor provided designs for a new GAPS logo and print site sign, which GBI is reviewing. Bi-weekly meetings are held to receive status updates on development milestones.
HUMAN RESOURCES (HR) TIMESHEET PROJECT
Project Description - Enhancement of the application used by non-sworn units of the GBI for tracking time.
Monthly Update - The developer completed several requirements that are currently in user acceptance testing (UAT). Application development continues and the developer is working on a calendar interface for the new system.
17

MESSAGE SWITCH REPLACEMENT PROJECT
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 and to take advantage of new features and advances in technology, GCIC is looking to upgrade or replace this system.
Monthly Update - Due to funding issue the project will be placed on hold until first quarter 2019.
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 - A calculation problem was found in the error report and the vendor is working to resolve the issue. The vendor is also working to resolve the ability to attach a message to a document and development of a user activity report.
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 - User acceptance testing (UAT) has been completed and results provided to the internal applications developer for SORT/IA enhancements. Production ports have been established and tested by AT&T. SORT task orders development works has completed and meetings have resumed with Watch Systems for the SORT Entry enhancements. Watch Systems has begun preparing test cases & data submission to test system capability, compatibility and communication, which will take approximately 4 weeks to complete.
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 - Each GCIC unit will assume responsibility of their SharePoint section, however; staff will be available to provide support when they are ready to begin usage. The project is in operational status until the remainder of GBI is ready to begin usage and training.
