Missouri FY24 NARIP

The Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP) has collaborated with the Missouri Office of Prosecution Services (MOPS) to use funds for several projects.  1) General Counsel Position (MOPS). Funds will be used to continue support the position to provide legal and technical assistance on Missouri's prosecutor case management system (Karpel), and criminal history reporting matters. The position will provide support relating to import of criminal history and charge data from law enforcement and transfer of that data to the courts, reporting the disposition of charges, and accurately recoding and reporting charge code information; 2) IT Specialist Position (MOPS). Funds will be used to support the position to provide IT support to prosecutors’ offices and the Attorney General's Office. The IT Specialist will continue to provide technical assistance to prosecutors’ offices with program and equipment maintenance, addressing interface issues with other state partners such as OSCA and other law enforcement agencies. The position works with the MOPS case management software provider to address program and technical issues and acts as an intermediary between the local prosecutors’ offices and Karpel Solutions. 3) Subsequent Transfer to Court from PbK (MOPS). This project will streamline the process for the transfer of charging document from the prosecutors to the courts. 4) PbK Interface – MoDEx (MOPS). This interface will allow the retrieval of defendant, referred charge data and reports for direct population of those data fields in the prosecutor’s case management system, PbK "Karpel". The Livescan fingerprinting system and MSHP will allow direct imports of citation-based offense data to auto populate fields in PbK "Karpel" and allow the transfer to court with no additional data entry. 5) State Message Switch Database Conversion and Interface Enhancements (MSHSP). This project will assist with database conversion and interface enhancements associated with the Missouri Uniform Law-Enforcement System (MULES). MULES is the statewide message switch application that all Missouri law enforcement agencies use in one form or another to access Missouri criminal justice data such as warrants, protection orders, sex offenders, and criminal history. 6) Biometric Fingerprinting Tablets (MSHP). Funding is requested to purchase biometric fingerprinting tablets as part of a piolet project to capture criminal fingerprints roadside for site and release arrest.  Capturing, submitting, and establishing criminal fingerprints on reportable felony and misdemeanor offenses at the time of arrest will greatly improve the criminal history record system.
