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 and DDS continue to test and plan for January deployment. The message switch vendor is finishing up the stylesheets so that testing with other states using the new format can be completed.
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 production environment is working properly, and all open issues are closed. The project will remain open until the map change is added and the mobile application, delayed until March 2021, is complete.
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 - The Notice of Intent to Award (NOIA) and the Notice of Award (NOA) was completed and posted with the award made to Datamaxx, Inc.

GBI is in the process of replacing the current UCR summary-based system with an application that will collect incident-based data. Monthly Update - Final XML upgrade patches and test completions are in progress. GBI gave official approval to proceed with the additional Bias Crime Reporting mandates, and the vendor is expected to be complete and fully operational by May 2021.
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 AFIS portion of Rap Back will not be ready until March 2021 and the AFIS vendor has worked out a fall back plan for temporary implementation to reach the Go Live date of December 2020. Test transactions continue to be sent to the FBI test system. The AFIS vendor is also working with the GAPS vendor to ensure they have connectivity to the GBI test system. The GAPS vendor continues development of the user interface. The vendor released use case scenarios for testing and provided an overview of the testing requirements. UAT has been delayed until December due to an IP address change. GCIC continues weekly internal calls to discuss vendor expectations.
