Requisition Number:
DPS1330
Department/Agency:
WV State Police
Detailed Description of Project:
The WV State Police is seeking
software modifications to the current MorphoTRAK Automated Fingerprint
Information System (AFIS) to enhance functionality as well as satisfy
FBI/CJIS audit requirements. The software modifications are as follows.

Update Criminal and Applicant State and Federal SRE Routing.
This will entail modifying the current SRE routing table to add the
ability to set the route of the response to a place determined by an
entry in the Billing table. This will also provide the ability to send
multiple responses for the same SRE.

NFUF/MAP:
Validate
the
Reason
Fingerprinted
Field
electronically. This will entail adding the Reason Fingerprinted field to
the billing table so that this field is a key determination along with
Billing Number and ORI to determine if a set of fingerprints meet the
State and Federal Policy requirements to be processed or rejected.

Return duplicate submission errors to livescans. This will entail
creating an automated error response for any transactions that have
already been submitted to the AFIS system.

DOC Incarcerated Workflow. This will entail creating a workflow for
any and all types of submissions that the Department of Corrections
will need to fingerprint inmates in their facilities.

Stop downgrading all submissions from 1000ppi to 500ppi for
submission to the FBI. This will entail modifying the AFIS system in
agreement with the FBI for the WVSP to submit all fingerprints at
1000ppi and enable the submission of palm prints and photos.

Tenprint Case rejected in QC / Tenprint Case is rejected in
Verification.
This will entail modifying the current workflow
processing to enable some transactions to be rejected back to the
previous stage in the process.
Remove CJIS/Federal response from livescans. This change will
reduce the FBI security requirements for the livescans by removing
any CJIS data from the end device. This change is needed to allow our
livescan stations to be submission only devices and will exclude them
from our triennial audit routine.
