DEPARTMENT OF DRIVERS SERVICES (DDS) DRIVES PROJECT
Project Description - The Georgia Driver Record and Integrated Vehicle Enterprise System (DRIVES) is a system upgrade to update and enhance the title and vehicle registration functions of the Department of Revenue. The system utilizes modern technology to streamline existing processes and enable more online services. The implementation date of phase 2 is January 2021.
Monthly Update - GBI is in the process of setting up devices and users for DDS personnel to start conducting tests. Transactions were submitted and responses received from both the legacy and DRIVES environments.
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 - GCIC escalated the GAPS project to the vendor's upper management due to numerous open issues that occurred after switching over to the new GAPS. There are 7 open issues and bi-weekly calls continue between GBI and the vendor.
GEORGIA LAW ENFORCEMENT MESSAGE SWITCH (GLEMS)
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 - Cost evaluations completed by DOAS revealed ambiguity for project deliverables. All prospective vendors must provide clarifications to their technical explanations yielding a marginal rating. After administrative evaluations have concluded, the Notice of Intent to Award will be issued by DOAS.
HUMAN RESOURCE (HR) TIMESHEET PROJECT
Project Description - Enhancement of the application used by non-sworn units of the GBI for tracking time.
Monthly Update - Development continues for the application. Several rules implemented in the existing system are missing from the new application code and additional program enhancements are being completed.

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 has fixed and resolved the Hate Crime Incident Report issue and the GBI Family Violence test file for all agency's "passed" UAT/GATEST, along with application fixes for all the remaining new Family Violence Tickets. The vendor fixed null date fields that impacted 4-6 agencies for the NIBRS Summary Reporting System (SRS). The XML uploads from local LEAs application fixes were completed and GBI is awaiting feedback from test agencies. The full NIBRS Project implementation is wrapping up and is set to be completed by September 2020.
RAP BACK PROJECT Project Description - The Rap Back project will provide the ability to receive ongoing status notifications of criminal history activity reported on individuals holding positions of trust. 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 schedule has been pushed back approximately 4 weeks due to open issues with AFIS. After GAPS vendor personnel changes another kick-off meeting was held to introduce GCIC staff and provide a project schedule for implementation. The Statement of Work (SOW) was provided and signed by GBI. The team is meeting twice a week to review and discuss the Design Requirements Specification (DRS) to provide detailed information for each requirement.
