Michigan Criminal History Improvement Program 2013

The goal of the National Criminal History Improvement Program (NCHIP) is to improve the Nation's safety and security by enhancing the quality, completeness, and accessibility of criminal history record information and by insuring the nationwide implementation of criminal justice and noncriminal justice background check systems. BJS provides direct financial and technical assistance to the states to improve criminal history and other related records and to build their infrastructure to connect to national record check systems both to supply information and to conduct the requisite checks.
Under this award, the Michigan State Police (MSP) will: 1) implement changes to support NFF and Federal Rap Back participation; 2) perform year round audits of local law enforcement and criminal justice agencies' criminal history record systems; and 3) continue to develop a web-based prosecutor case tracking system for state prosecutors. These enhancements will contribute to the ongoing success of Michigan having an effective and complete criminal history system that is available at the time of a national background check. CA/NCF
