State Profiles - NCHIP SF

Alabama ($1,317,309) – The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) will use funds to improve the reliability of the state criminal justice information system network and connectivity to all criminal justice agencies. The current network needs additional network switches and new “edge routers” to meet the growing demands of bandwidth and national security standards. Recently, ALEA upgraded 19 of these switches; another 51 are needed to complete the next phase of the network modernization. The routers provide the entry and exit point for external connections into the internal network and connect remote sites that do not connect through dedicated circuits. The current routers are approximately eight years old and well beyond their expected service life. Funds are being requested to purchase Cisco Catalyst 9300 switches and Cisco Catalyst 8500 routers.

Arkansas ($4,027,500) – The Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) is engaged in a statewide court technology initiative to replace the legacy Contexte Case Management System in Arkansas Courts with a new user interface called AR Courts. NCHIPS funds will be used to support two goals that will advance development of the case management system in Arkansas. The first goal involves the development of an Application Programming Interface (API) that facilitates a seamless exchange between ARCourts and the Arkansas Crime Information Center (ACIC). The second goal builds on the first by enhancing the API exchange with ACIC by incorporating warrant data to ensure that law enforcement agencies have greater access to accurate information.

Arizona Supreme Court ($1,214,599) – The Arizona Supreme Court will use funds to implement the Statewide Juvenile Prohibited Possessor Case Management Project. The purpose of the project is to provide juvenile prohibited possessor records to the NICS Indices and to allow NICS agents to query the system 24/7 to perform the needed investigation into the purchase of a gun by a person under 21 years of age. The Arizona Supreme Court plans to achieve this purpose by replacing the existing aging juvenile probation case management systems with a more robust, modernized, and integrated system. This updated statewide system will, among other things, enable the Arizona Judicial Branch to transmit juvenile records to NICS, thus providing an efficient and effective means of identifying ineligible firearm purchasers on a statewide basis. Expected outcomes include the development and rollout of a new cloud-based case management system to be used by all juvenile probation departments, which will provide support for a mobile workforce with internet-based portals to interact with the client base, along with managerial analytics; the improvement of electronic transmittal of juvenile records to state and the national NICS system.  All 15 of Arizona’s juvenile probation departments, with over 1,400 users statewide, are the intended beneficiaries of the project.

Arizona ($1,107,637) – Through partnership with the Arizona Criminal Justice Commission (ACJC), the Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) will use funds to: 1) employ staff to work on disposition backlogs; 2) render the services of contractors to program the Automated Computerized Criminal History (ACCH) System to display the Identification for Firearms Sales (IFFS) flag on the Arizona rapsheet; and 3) work with DPS IT and contractors on enhancing communication between the Arizona Disposition Reporting System and the new ACCH. Funds are also being requested to continue researching, updating, automating, and verifying Arizona’s criminal history records from the FBI pseudo-pointer records that have not been verified in the ACCH database and to research and process bulk arrest fingerprint cards received by law enforcement agencies.

Colorado ($172,319) – The Colorado Department of Public Safety will use funds to continue to support two full-time employees to ensure adult and juvenile dispositions and arrest records are complete. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation is requesting funding to process the adult and juvenile disposition update requests received from the FBI National Instant Criminal Background Check program; as well as the misdemeanor disposition records received by arrestee’s who are requesting disposition update to the criminal history record information which are unable to be completed by current employees of the bureau due to the high demand of the Identification Unit’s current workload. A minimum of 150 records per month will be completed by two employees resulting in 300 records a month and 3,600 more files at the end of twelve months.

Connecticut Judicial Branch ($1,012,000) – The Connecticut Judicial Branch will use funds for the development of an automated court computer process that will align NICS cancellations with the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act annual reporting codes and enable local courts and state court administrators to electronically access and archive all documents that are used in emergency risk protection order (ERPO) cases (sometimes referred to as “red flag” orders) when a person is found to pose an imminent risk of physical danger to himself, herself, or other persons. An automated electronic court case management component will be put in place which will accommodate all of the underlying court forms that must accompany the ERPO application including; affidavits, firearms search warrants, and the actual court orders. This is anticipated to deliver efficiencies to mental health agencies, law enforcement, and the local courts and result in critical information related to ERPOs being delivered electronically and in a more accurate, complete, and timelier manner to state court administrators for validation and entry into NICS; enable state court administrators to have ERPO related documents readily available to maintain and validate the NICS records; and, enable local court staff and state court administrators to provide assistance to the criminal justice and mental health communities throughout the nation with any related background checks or mental health services.

Connecticut ($1,314,618) – The Connecticut Office of Policy and Management will use funds for the following projects: 1) Criminal Information System and Records Improvement: the services of consultants are being used to improve the access and reporting of adult and juvenile dispositions and mental health submissions to NICS. Funds are requested to implement the NICS, NCIC, and III communication platform socket migration. The project is anticipated to increase the number of protective orders, misdemeanor convictions for domestic violence, mental health records, and expungements. 2) Automating Criminal Record Databases: contract consultants will also be used for synchronizing records between the state and the FBI. Funds will be used to implement and adhere to CJIS security policy requirements and to ensure state and national criminal justice information is accessible to authorized entities.

Florida ($1,309,036) – The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) will use funds to use a third-party vendor to scan each microfilm reel and other physical records containing criminal history record information to provide high-quality digital image files for each record. Additionally, FDLE is requesting to issue a tiered subaward to help the Miami-Dade Police Department render a third-party vendor to scan each microfilm reel and other physical records containing criminal history record information to provide high-quality digital image files for each record.

Guam ($312,829) – The Superior Court of Guam (Judiciary) will use funds to improve the quality, completeness, and timeliness of Guam’s criminal history records by providing adequate resources to support the sharing of eligible records available to the FBI NCIC. The Judiciary will purchase adequate equipment to ensure that accurate records are available for use by law enforcement and criminal justice-related entities and to enhance IT support to adhere to CJIS security standards and proactively manage and protect the Judiciary’s IT infrastructure and its criminal history systems. Project activities include procuring enterprise-level uninterrupted power supply devices, network switches and routers, and IT network auditing software. In addition, grant funds will be used to hire personnel and provide advanced IT training for its Management Information Systems Division.

Iowa ($153,200) – The Iowa Department of Public Safety, Division of Criminal Investigation (DPS-DCI) will use funds to contract with the vendor, IDEMIA, Inc. to purchase and install eight livescan digital fingerprinting submission devices in local sheriff’s offices and police departments. Local agencies will be selected based on those that (1) currently can’t afford the technology or (2) still revert fingerprinting processes to rolled ink cards and the U.S. Postal Service for entry into the Iowa DPS-DCI computerized criminal history central repository.  The cost per device includes the unit, associated equipment, software, and card printer.

Idaho ($551,461) – The Idaho State Police, Bureau of Criminal Identification (BCI) will use funds to pilot a program that provides law enforcement with mobile identification devices to remotely upload criminal charges to a person’s criminal history record and fingerprint images into the Western Identification Network (WIN) database. The purpose of this grant request is to capture arrest charges that are being missed due to increasing “cite and release” and summons events, whereas ten print arrest fingerprint cards are not completed and submitted to BCI for inclusion into the state’s criminal history records. The increase in these events is due to varying reasons, including overcrowding at jails; limited staffing at arrest and booking agencies; geographical location of the incident; etc. BCI will purchase and deploy 55 mobile livescan identification devices to several law enforcement agencies, county sheriff’s offices, and city police departments throughout Idaho. These devices will provide biometric identification of persons entered into the FBI’s Repository for Individuals of Special Concern (RISC) and the electronic submission of field arrests with ten-print capture will ensure accurate criminal history reporting and help close the gap between the number of individuals cited and released, or summonsed, without a fingerprint record. The expected outcome of this pilot program is that capturing arrest events will improve the timeliness, accuracy, and completeness of Idaho’s criminal history records repository. After the completion of the one-year grant project, each law enforcement agency opting to continue the use of the device will be responsible for any ongoing maintenance costs. The service area for this pilot program will be spread across the six Idaho State Police districts.

Indiana ($1,675,951) – The Indiana Supreme Court, Indiana Office of Court Technology (IOCT) will use funds to continue the development and deployment of INjail, the new statewide jail management system, to additional county jails.  Funding will be used to continue software development of INjail and to increase the number of counties using the system.  To date, Marion, Allen, Lake, Hendricks, Dearborn, and Madison counties have expressed interest in adopting INjail.  By deploying INjail to additional county jails, IOCT will continue toward the goal of complete and accurate records sent to CHRIS (criminal history record repository) at the Indiana State Police.

Kentucky ($1,396,000) – The Kentucky Justice and Public Safety Cabinet (KJPSC) will use funds to improve access and reporting of adult and juvenile dispositions and mental health submissions to NICS. The KJPSC proposes to grant a subaward to the Department of Juvenile Justice. Funds allocated to the Kentucky Department of Juvenile Justice will be used to purchase one Module Set (Expanded Essential Functions) and four Modification Sets: JKOMS Modification Set 1 (Essential Offender Functions and Administrative Office of the Courts), JKOMS Modification Set 2 (Electronic Health Records), JKOMS Modification Set 3 (Essential Offender Functions), and JKOMS Modification Set 4 (Essential Offender and Management Functions). These efforts will result in improved juvenile record management within the Commonwealth of Kentucky and increased submission of record data to federal databases, where permissible by state law. 

Michigan ($1,987,245) – The Michigan State Police (MSP) will use funds to improve the accuracy, quality, timeliness, and accessibility of criminal history data and related records. Vital enhancements within the CHR system include (1) regular record quality audits, (2) record backlog reduction, (3) record updates for open concealed pistol licensing (CPL) cases, (4) record completion for arrest incidents with missing data, (5) the establishment of statewide booking standards and initiative monitoring, and (6) technology enhancement for Live Scan (fingerprinting) devices at local agencies, and (7) provisions for data management training within MSP, the courts, and other reporting agencies.  Together, these CHR system improvement initiatives will ensure the accuracy and accessibility of criminal history data for MSP and its justice system partners. Specifically, MSP will use funds to assist with infrastructure, training, and standardized evaluations that ultimately provide for a more comprehensive CHR system. The implementation of the proposed projects will substantially improve the quality and quantity of records available to systems queried by the NCIC and the NICS Indices.

Missouri ($2,552,550) – The Missouri Office of State Court Administrator (OSCA) requests funds to enhance the statewide court case management system (Show-Me Courts), conduct NICS background checks, and conduct an analysis of the statewide system responsible for tracking juvenile justice information. The enhancements to Show-Me Courts would implement case management tools for associate and circuit-level criminal case processing - particularly those tied to civil, family court, juvenile, and probate cases.  In addition, OSCA will use funding to hire a contractor to conduct timely and accurate NICS background checks requested of juvenile and mental health cases.  Lastly, funds will also be used for contractual work to analyze the current juvenile justice data sharing system and make recommendations as to how and where it can be improved.

Northern Mariana Islands ($1,000,000) – The Criminal Justice Planning Agency (CJPA) will use funds to implement the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS) Network. The main goal of the CJIS network is to connect all criminal justice agencies within the commonwealth so that information can be shared efficiently and in a timely manner. CJPA is requesting funds to contract with a provider to bring CNMI’s CJIS network to a cloud-based infrastructure, alleviating huge upfront costs associated with an on-premise infrastructure model. Funds are also requested to hire one dedicated CJIS personnel to handle the day-to-day operations of the project.

Mississippi ($493,000) – The Mississippi Department of Public Safety (MDPS), the parent agency of the Mississippi Criminal Information Center (MCIC) will use funds to maintain and improve its existing criminal history system. MDPS plans to contract with Computer Projects of Illinois, Inc. (CPI) to upgrade the state message switch to meet FBI mandated NIEM compliant transaction format standards. CPI will provide NIEM stylesheets along with message key transformation of all the NCIC keys and apply them to all inbound and outbound NCIC messages. Additionally, MDPS will contract with Meris to create a bulk scanning process to reduce the paper backlog and increase the operator processing time. This project will assist staff in the areas of scanning dispositions, expunction, and background checks.

Montana ($411,304) – The Montana Board of Crime Control (MBCC) will use funds to improve Montana’s criminal history data systems and exchanges. The project seeks to improve Montana’s criminal record information for availability to national investigative service providers. Montana’s project will build upon and leverage the Montana Criminal History Improvement Project, funded with prior year NCHIP grants. Montana’s criminal justice partners have a strong history of cooperation for strategically planned, incremental improvements to criminal history record information to meet NCHIP priorities. This year’s project will build upon the 2016 development of MTDOJ’s current web-based computerized criminal history repository, CCHv2, which is closely coupled with the Montana State Registry (MSR). Since deployed to production in March 2020, DOJ staff have identified necessary enhancements required of both systems. Because of the integration between the two systems, the enhancements to both must be completed together. These enhancements will expand opportunities for interaction by non-DOJ personnel, making it possible for authorized users in other criminal justice roles to actively establish and maintain their segments of criminal records and to access and utilize authorized information. MBCC will subgrant funds to the Montana Department of Justice (DOJ) to render the services of a vendor to make necessary enhancements to the CCHv2 and the MSR to improve the electronic exchange of data between the two systems. MTDOJ will provide the vendor with a list of prioritized enhancements. The vendor and MTDOJ will participate in bi-weekly team meetings to discuss data-exchange specifications. The vendor will provide MTDOJ with code to deploy for MTDOJ testing.

New Jersey ($1,325,555) – The New Jersey Department of Public Safety will use funds to issue a subaward to the New Jersey State Police (NJSP) for the purchase of livescan equipment that has reached its end of life. The NJSP has been pursuing a systematic and targeted approach for the statewide replacement of current obsolete livescan systems as the most economical and efficient means to obtain federal NGI compliance.  The project will subaward the funds to NJSP to purchase 55 livescans with palmprint and mugshot capability and printers that are certified duplex printers with New Jersey specific transmission requirements for county and local police departments, which provide police coverage and services to multiple local municipalities. These geographic areas rely on county and local police departments for law enforcement services and protection. 

Ohio ($1,000,000) – The Ohio Attorney General’s Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) and The Ohio Supreme Court will use funds to ensure that accurate records are available for use by law enforcement, prosecutors, courts and to protect public safety and national security. In 2023, BCI and Attorney General’s staff analyzed 441,524 electronic disposition submissions from 194 Ohio courts. BCI found an unacceptably high fatal error rate in the electronic submission of disposition information from courts. Several of the categories of errors are being addressed through changes made by Ohio’s CCH vendor. However, the vast majority of the errors require local action to fix. Fortunately, almost all of the fatal errors not involving the lack of associated fingerprints with an arrest are technical fixes. BCI is requesting funds to provide sub-grants to at least 10 court systems that would fund technical improvements to, or subsidize the replacement of, local case management systems that are resulting in high volumes of rejected dispositions. BCI will provide at least five of those sub-grants to local court systems who have the highest rejection rates of electronic submissions and up to five of those sub-grants to local court systems who have the highest overall rejection rates.

Pennsylvania ($603,450) – The Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency will use funds for an overtime project to support the Under 21 enhanced review related to firearms background check transactions. Due to the passage of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act of 2022, the Pennsylvania Instant Check System (PICS) Operations Section has expanded its efforts regarding background checks for individuals under the age of 21 attempting to acquire firearms from federal firearms licensees.  As part of this ongoing effort, the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) is seeking overtime funds for staff within the PICS Operations Section, whose responsibilities include researching firearm background checks for individuals under 21 and updating entries into the NICS Indices. Based on the past 10 months of enhanced reviews, the PSP estimates processing around 842 firearms-related background checks for individuals under 21 and inputting 90 entries into the NICS Indices each month.

South Carolina ($725,000) – The South Carolina State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) will use funds for the ongoing redevelopment of the South Carolina 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 NGI criminal and non-criminal justice rap back service capabilities for real-time alerts to critical events related to applicants. These projects will position SLED to implement the FBI’s NGI Criminal and Non-Criminal Justice Rap Back Service. 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. 

Utah ($1,486,237) – The Utah Executive Office will subaward funds to the Department of Public Safety (DPS), Bureau of Criminal Identification (BCI) for the following projects: Project 1: Research and update missing dispositions, train local criminal justice personnel, and maintain and update the Utah Criminal History (UCH). The project is on-going and will be for the immediate future until a consensus on how to accurately match every court case to the arrest record can be resolved. The UT DPS will work with the Administrative Office of The Courts (AOC) to increase the success rate of disposition matching. This research will help Utah to identify problems and continue to train local justice personnel on criminal justice record improvement. Funds will also be utilized to implement process improvements that result from research conducted. Project 2: Train local criminal justice personnel on quality, complete, and accurate data for submission to the UCH. DPS delivers professional continuing education training to peace officers and dispatchers in a learning environment which is conducive with the expectations of Utah citizens for its law enforcement officers. Utah’s UCH is accessed daily by law enforcement agencies throughout the country. Data accuracy is key to ensuring public safety. Project 3: Research and update missing arrest and disposition records on UCH, update legacy (binary) AFIS records within the WIN system to NIST and eliminate the pseudo-pointer records in the FBI NGI file for Utah. Utah became an A-NFF state on April 13, 2022. There is still a need to update Utah arrest, disposition, and fingerprint records within the systems maintained by Utah. In addition, pseudo-pointer records in the FBI NGI system must be updated to be under the control of the state rather than the FBI. As this is a manual process and will be for a limited time, the funding will allow BCI to accomplish the goals within a shorter period rather than an on-going continual process. If the pseudo pointer work is finished early, these employees can assist with projects 1 and 4. Project 4: Hire two new employees to assist with the manual process related to court orders for Clean Slate expungements. The Utah Expungement Act was modified by the legislature in 2019 to include Clean Slate eligible cases. Expunging Clean Slate cases became operational in 2022. As of April 2023, BCI has received over 290,000 orders from the AOC. Two additional employees will help increase the rate at which Clean Slate eligible cases can be expunged. Project 5: Work with SEARCH and state IT to develop a UCH data quality dashboard and performance management. Having this dashboard will allow the repository to better know and understand the problems and where they are coming from so that a more targeted approach may be taken to fix these problems. Project 6: Rewrite the expungement program to interface with the UCH and other systems so that records can be efficiently and accurately updated in a timely manner. Project 7: Use funding to send staff to the SEARCH and Compact Council meetings.

Virginia ($3,350,680) – The Virginia Department of State Police will use funds for the following projects: Project 1:  VCIN Hotfiles Improvement Project. The Virginia Criminal Information Network (VCIN) is an extensive, complex computer application with over 700 system-to-system interfaces. VSP is initiating a 4–5-year project to upgrade or replace VCIN Hotfiles (Wanted Persons, Missing Persons, Vehicles/Boats and Parts, Protective Orders, Violent Gangs and Gang Members, etc.) and interfaces. VSP will use grant funds to provide the necessary documentation to upgrade or replace VCIN Hotfiles. This grant will be used to procure the services of Mission Critical Partners (MCP) to help VSP document the current VCIN Hotfile applications and interfaces and document Hotfile project plans/scope, alternative solutions, and the benefits/costs of each alternative, legal and policy implications, and requirements. MCP will highlight opportunities to improve Hotfile processes and data accuracy. Project 2:  VCIN Alignment with FBI and Nlets Standards. Funds are requested for enhancements to the Virginia criminal justice message switch that would allow for the implementation of NIEM XML for both FBI CJIS and NLETS transactions, including interfaces with the state’s criminal history repository. VSP will utilize existing state contracts with Computer Projects of Illinois (CPI) and GCOM Software to convert NCIC messaging to and from Virginia to NIEM XML, and develop, test, and implement the related interfaces. This project is crucial for ensuring seamless communication and data exchange between Virginia and federal criminal justice agencies, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of our state's criminal justice system. Project 3:  The Criminal Sealing Bill. The Criminal Sealing Project was established at the Office of Executive Secretary (OES) VA Courts to implement automated processes for sealing the cases and court records for certain convictions, deferred dispositions, and acquittals and for offenses that have been nolle prosequi or otherwise dismissed. The bill also allows a person to petition for the sealing of police and court records relating to certain convictions. Ongoing data analysis efforts have revealed new sealing scenarios that can only be fully automated with significant cleanup and updates to the data. The funding would be used to augment the existing criminal sealing project team with 5 new contract resources for the timely implementation of the required changes to OES systems to meet the requirements of the Criminal Sealing Bill legislation (HB2113/SB1339) by July 1, 2025, and stabilize the system. 

Wisconsin ($783,955) – The Wisconsin Department of Justice (WI DOJ) will use funds to work in tandem and continue the work of Wisconsin’s NCHIP Supplemental 2023 project that is focusing on the lack of tools to identify arrest events that have not been submitted to the state’s CCH system, but likely should have, creating technical documentation related to the flow of court data into the CCH, and assessing the CCH for potentially missing court records. This project proposes to create technical documentation related to the flow of prosecution data into the CCH, expand the tools to identify unsubmitted arrest events to include prosecutor data, and audit the completeness of prosecution data sent to and consumed by the CCH. This project also will address two additional gaps in the utility of the CCH for our statewide criminal justice partners. First, this project will explore the possibility of creating an automated process to flag persons who are prohibited from possessing a firearm based on state statutes and will explore making that information available to law enforcement and prosecutors. Second, this project proposes to make prosecution statistics from the CCH available to prosecutors to aide in their data driven decision making.
