South Carolina FY24 NCHIPSF

Under this award, the South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) requests funds for the ongoing redevelopment of the South Carolina Computerized Criminal History (CCH) Repository, replacing the more than 40-year-old mainframe computer system with an updated platform. This modernization will allow for numerous improvements, including the addition of the SLED civil applicant processing workflow to streamline applicant processing and implementation of the FBI’s Next Generation of Identification (NGI) criminal and non-criminal justice rapback service capabilities for real-time alerts to critical events related to applicants. Additionally, SLED is working on converting to the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) Extensible Markup Language (XML) data communication format to the NCIC/III, NICS, and NLETS systems. While South Carolina has converted South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicle, III, CCH, and Probation and Parole transactions to NIEM XML, NCIC, NICS, and the rest of the NLETS transactions still remain to be converted. SLED is requesting additional funding to complete these conversions.
