Georgia Authorized Central Storage (ACS) Program Update
https://gbi.georgia.gov/meth-container-program 4TH Quarter of FY2019 April 1 to June 30, 2019 No hazardous waste was submitted for temporary storage during the 4th quarter. This reflects a trend toward bulk production of methamphetamine in Mexico, mixing with a cover substance such as diesel fuel for smuggling into the United States and conversion to consumable methamphetamine product once inside the U.S. Numerous "conversion labs" were encountered and processed by Georgia law enforcement agencies during the quarter, however due to the quantity of hazardous waste involved (in excess of 220 pounds each), these materials are not submitted to the ACS program for temporary storage. Given the large quantity waste encountered at conversion labs, a DEA contractor responds directly to the lab and collects the hazardous waste at the scene. This shift in methodology has prompted DEA leadership to begin planning to revise the current ACS program to begin addressing conversion labs as well as smaller, traditional labs. The Sumter County ACS site was emptied by a DEA contractor. All 9 Georgia ACS facilities were operational. An ACS Officer Certification Course was held at the Georgia Public Safety Training Center in April. This course was taught by DEA Instructors and DEA contract instructors. Eighteen (18) officers successfully completed the course.

DEPARTMENT OF DRIVER SERVICES (DDS) - CARD PRODUCTION SERVICES (CPS) Project Description - The Department of Driver Services is working with a new vendor on a card production service. The new system will provide GCIC with a driver's license (DL)/ID photograph when a driver inquiry is performed. The latest image for a DL number will be retrieved by GCIC via a web service call. Monthly Update - GCIC continues to work with the DDS vendor in retrieving photos using test records. GCIC met with Unisys and determined that the old Operating System (Server 2008) was impacting the progress. Unisys had to rewrite the message switch code for the photo vendor. After extensive modifications and windows registry changes, GCIC and DDS were able to successfully retrieve a photo using Portal XL in the test environment.
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 GAPS vendor corrected issues found during Phase One UAT and the NCJ unit began testing the corrections.
HUMAN RESOURCE (HR) TIMESHEET PROJECT Project Description - Enhancement of the application used by non-sworn units of the GBI for tracking time. Monthly Update - No significant changes.
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 vendor deployed the Family Violence report for NIBRS to the public portal and GBI continues UAT for the GA Test Region.
17

Georgia's Rap Back System will include the retention of applicant fingerprints, the implementation of an FBI Rap Back Subscription on such prints, and the creation of a validation process for authorized entities to manage such subscriptions. Monthly Update - The project kick-off meeting was held to discuss the key systems involved in the project as well as the project approach. A meeting was scheduled between the CCH and GAPS vendors to discuss the project task dependencies and the schedule of all vendors included in the project. SEX OFFENDER REGISTRY TOOL (SORT) ENHANCEMENT PROJECT Project Description - Continued enhancements to SORT application to meet the needs of local law enforcement and public. Monthly Update - GBI met with Watch Systems and discussed Offender Watch interface's test system IP address, test plan/timeline and handling instances of duplicate data. GCIC researched and fixed issues with the SORT admin website for SORT enhancements.
