Louisiana FY24 NCHIP

The Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement (LCLE) plans to transfer funds to the Louisiana Supreme Court (LSC) to improve the completeness, accuracy, and timeliness of criminal disposition and mental health data provided by trial courts to CMIS (case management information system) for reporting to NICS, the Louisiana Computerized Criminal History (LACCH), and for sharing with the Interstate Identification Index. NCHIP funds are being requested to: 1) establish the framework for a broker data sharing model that can receive, evaluate, and forward criminal data between any of the ICJIS component systems; 2) implement and upgrade case management systems for the collection, sharing, and reporting of case filing, interim dispositions, final dispositions, conditions of bond/probation, complete sentence, and probation revocations with imposition of a new sentence so that all systems capture the critical data fields for reporting to LACCH and the NICS Indices; 3) establish secure data integration efforts and develop reporting services which provide feedback to criminal justice agencies on records which failed reporting requirements; and, 4) implement workflow products which support secure data capture, storage and exchange of court data records and images. Additionally, funds will be used to pay for management and program support personnel, who will perform coordination and monitoring activities, including programmatic and fiscal oversight. The LCLE program manager will attend grant-related conferences and conduct periodic in-person site visits with sub-grantees throughout the lifetime of the grant.
