This Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the Bureau of Justice Statistics under the National Criminal History Improvement Program (CFDA 16.554), will enable the New Jersey Department of Public Safety to issue a $1,325,555 sub-grant to the New Jersey State Police (NJSP) for the procurement of 55 LiveScan units with palmprint and mugshot capabilities, as well as certified duplex printers. These LiveScan systems will replace obsolete equipment across county and local police departments in New Jersey to ensure compliance with the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Next Generation Identification (NGI) standards. The award period runs from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2026.

Under this award, the new jersey department of public safety is seeking funds to issue a subgrant 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 FY24 nchip grant is the funding vehicle the department is pursuing for the procurement of these livescan replacements. This application proposes to subgrant 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.
