Criminal Investigative Management System (CIMS)
Abstract
Criminal Investigative Management System (CIMS). CIMS is a collection of mission essential information technology (IT) systems that supports the DACID, the Office of the Provost Marshal General (OPMG), the U.S. Army Crime Records Center (USACRC), the Army Military Police School (USAMPS), and other DoD Law Enforcement (LE) entities and stakeholders. Through CIMS, the DACID and the OPMG developed an integrated and unified, comprehensive enterprise program / system that houses both classified and unclassified Law Enforcement Sensitive (LES) data, leveraging existing and future Army LE information technology assets and other external data sources, and providing a full range of law enforcement functions. The primary component of CIMS is a comprehensive enterprise system known as the Army Law Enforcement Reporting and Tracking System (ALERTS) providing Army LE stakeholders the enhanced capability to rapidly and efficiently manage a variety of LE and criminal intelligence functions, as well as a broader range of senior executive reporting requirements. Automatic, electronic data transfers between ALERTS and Integrated Personnel and Pay System - Army (IPPS-A) are being established to provide historical, up-to-date information assisting in agent hiring procedures. The Accreditations module of CIMS was developed from a stand-alone to an enterprise application providing access to multiple DACID personnel. The National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) electronic feed was updated incorporating FBI standards providing accurate DNA and fingerprint data. RDT&E dollars are required to transform ALERTS along with multiple DACID mission systems through software modernization from an Army-centric investigative LE agency into an elite Federal LE agency that is ahead of the threat, continuously evolving and strategically partnering with Federal LE agencies. Strategically partnering requires the creation of multiple interagency data feeds. All requested DACID RDT&E funding in program element 0606013A will be applied to CIMS initiatives.
