To continue progress in enhancing the completeness, automation, and transmittal of records to state and federal systems used by the nics, the nebraska state patrol (NSP)proposes to use funding to conduct four projects. A request is being made to continue funding for nebraskas nics record improvement program, which includes a program manager position, as well as two crime analyst positions. Additional funding is being requested to add a third crime analyst position. This programs goal is to improve the overall reporting of our states firearm prohibiting records available nationwide, as well as ensure the integrity, accuracy, and completeness of such records. Funds are also being requested tocontract with NIC nebraska to support the development and maintenance of the misdemeanor crime of domestic violence (mcdv) and felony automated reporting systems. These systems help to ensure the completeness, automation, and transmittal of mcdv and felony records reported to the nics indices. NSP plans to continue funding support to nebraskas centralized protection order office (CPO) with a program manager position, as well as two crime analyst positions. The goal of the CPO is to oversee the protection order portal, which facilitates the entry of the states protection orders into the ncic for nationwide availability. Needed maintenance and enhancements are provided by the subrecipient, the nebraska crime commission. Funding will also support the exploration of a similar warrants portal to facilitate entries into the ncic wanted persons file. The douglas county sheriffs office will continue to be a subrecipient to support the entry of their countys protection order records, which is crucial to the success of the protection order portal.
