Maryland FY24 NARIP

The Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services is requesting funds to conduct two projects. Project 1: Missing Dispositions and Rap Sheet Linkage Overtime Project. The Department is requesting funding for overtime hours for CJIS staff to process missing dispositions for over 12,000 arrests without disposition cases. This includes processing criminal history updates on the RAP Sheet and using skilled research to link tracking number and/or a court case number, errors and required biometric data in case files. Project 2: Expungements Overtime Project. The Department is requesting funding for staff in the Criminal Justice Information Systems Division to process fast growing court-ordered and legislatively mandated expungements.  This effort aligns with President Biden Administration’s considerable re-entry and rehabilitation mandates to make every effort to uphold values of redemption, rehabilitation, and fairness.
