What is NCHIP?
NCHIP (National Criminal History Information Program) is a grant administered by the Bureau of Justice (BJS). For the past 25 years, the BJS has provided direct awards and technical assistance to states and localities to improve the quality, timeliness, and immediate accessibility of criminal history records and related information. Complete records require that data from all components of the criminal justice system be integrated and linked, including law enforcement, prosecutors, courts, and corrections.
Who is eligible for the NCHIP grant?

PSP will use overtime to convert approximately 475,000 fingerprint records to electronic files. The current process of PSP staff manually locating the individual criminal paper jacket and scanning fingerprints into AFIS is time-consuming and ineffective. The project will scan the remaining two fingerprint records to ensure they are complete and meet the 20-fingerprint standard which will then be available to NICS. The overtime support will eliminate the backlog and make the records accessible and available on a state and national level.

NCHIP By the Numbers
The NCHIP solicitation continues to focus on assisting states and tribes with finding ways to make more records available to NICS, including records in the NCIC, criminal history record information available through the III, and records in the NICS Indices. Therefore, through the funded activities, BJS expects that more records (including improved quality, completeness, and timeliness) will become available in these systems.
1995 - 2018年司法管轄區的NCHIP獎項是從司法網站獲取的詳細信息。最有趣的是many states go years without participating in this program leaving millions of dollars on the table.It’s likely that this is due to turnover in personnel who may be responsible for administering the grant, or because local public safety agencies are unaware of the opportunity. We encourage our clients to reach out to their designated agency and inquire about potential projects that align with the goals of the NCHIP grant. If you need more information on who to talk to,聯係我們或者給我們一個電話1-800-696-3453and we’ll point you in the right direction.
