Wyoming FY24 NCHIP

The Wyoming Office of the Attorney General plans to use funds to conduct a project that will protect the integrity of Wyoming’s criminal history database by ensuring that accurate records are being submitted and by making records more readily available to state and national databases.  The Wyoming Division of Criminal Investigation’s (DCI) Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) acts as the criminal record repository for the State of Wyoming. Through this role, DCI periodically assists local agencies with updating technology. Specifically, funds are requested to purchase livescan devices for two sheriff’s offices (Sweetwater and Johnson Counties) and five Department of Corrections (DOC) facilities (located in Rawlins, Torrington, Lusk, Riverton, and Newcastle). The current machines are no longer supported due to outdated software and old age. This project also includes the creation of a system integration interface allowing the automatic population of disposition information to the corresponding arrest in CCH. This interface between DCI’s CCH system and the WSC’s ODW will alleviate the need for manual entry. This disposition data will then be accessible for criminal history record inquiries at the state and national levels. This will drastically reduce the time it takes for disposition data to be available for those inquiries.
