The processing and packaging of materials resulted in 15 hazardous waste containers with a total volume of 315 gallons. The total weight of the hazardous waste was 196 pounds. All 9 Georgia ACS facilities were operational during the quarter. The ACS facility in Carrollton, Georgia was emptied by a DEA hazardous waste disposal contractor. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the GBI and DEA is currently being renewed. The document has been reviewed and signed by the GBI Director and has been sent to the DEA Atlanta Field Division Special Agent in Charge for his signature. Related MOUs are also being renewed between the GBI and the 9 host agencies that manage the ACS container sites. The new MOUs have been distributed to the local agency program representatives for review. The DEA Training Division has announced its intent to once again begin offering clandestine lab and ACS training to state and local personnel. This training was suspended by DEA in response to COVID-19. We hope to secure an ACS certification course for Georgia as the planning process proceeds. 8 9 Crime Lab Medical Examiners (includes all laboratories) October 2020 FY2021 YTD Autopsies Consultations Total ME Cases Managed 223 925 171 688 394 1,613 Clayton County Death Certificates 74 257 Percentage of Cases Released in 90 days: 86.3% Medical Examiner Activity, FY2021 Consultations 43% Autopsies 57% Confirmed CODIS Hits for October 2020 State Offender Hits 20 State Forensic Hits 1 National Offender Hits 10 National Forensic Hits 0 Total 31 Samples entered CODIS for October 2020 966 Profiles in CODIS Forensic Casework Profiles Convicted Offender Profiles Missing Person/Unidentified Human Remain Profiles Staff/QC File Total 10 25,439 378,045 8 570 404,062 Laboratory Production Report Turnaround for October Laboratory Headquarters - Atlanta Central Regional - Macon Coastal Regional - Savannah Eastern Regional - Augusta Northeastern Regional Southwestern Regional - Moultrie Western Regional - Columbus # Released in 45 Days 3,031 53 76 353 974 101 102 Total % Released in Released 45 Days 4,226 72% 377 14% 608 13% 436 81% 1,214 80% 249 41% 298 34% System-wide Totals 4,690 7,408 63% Note: 70.1% Casework Reports were released within 90 days.

Monthly Update - GBI received data from DDS with various scenarios for the development of testing documentation. One agency began testing at the end of the month. 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 - Final 4 remaining issues have been tested and confirmed; open issues were closed.

The delivery of the test Mobile App is scheduled for mid-November with a target deployment date of March 2021. 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. GCIC is considering a system upgrade or replacement to take advantage of new features and advances in technology. Monthly Update - DOAS completed vendor reference checks and the contract was sent to the vendor for review.

HUMAN RESOURCE (HR) TIMESHEET PROJECT Project Description - Enhancement of the application used by non-sworn units of the GBI for tracking time. Monthly Update - The current application has been updated to ensure it is browser independent and it will be deployed in early November.

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 target date for resolution of all AFIS integration testing issues was missed, though programmers continue to work on resolving open issues. A different internal escalation path will be taken to allow more programming time to finish up the open issues and to obtain a new commitment date. The team also started work on a fallback plan in the event the project timeline is pushed to the new year. The plan would be implemented for a large volume agency to submit subscription registrations. The GAPS vendor began work on the user interface (UI) portion and on the back-end implementation of the NIST package to AFIS. A live demo was performed and the GBI team provided guidance and feedback. The GCIC internal project team discussed the Non-Criminal User Test plan with the FBI and AFIS vendor. GBI continue to send test transactions to FBI. 18
