The Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP) has been actively using the Missouri Automated Criminal History Site (MACHS) Portal for several years. With the help of CPI (Computer Projects of Illinois), the new updates ensure the management and execution of name searches align with the Computerized Criminal History (CCH) system’s current workflow. The benefits include providing a visual representation of requested searches for MSHP CCH Admin users, and in turn, providing similar functionality already deployed through the MACHS Fingerprint Portal. CPI and MSHP personnel worked closely together to validate development and testing to ensure a successful implementation.
This project’s Scope included work within the currently deployed CCH and MACHS DBs, the CCH Admin Client, and the MACHS Name Search Portal. The project also provides a similar Review Queue for administrators as the MACHS Fingerprint Portal. This Review Queue is a newly developed screen within the CCH Client that an MSHP CCH Admin can determine the number of searches and interact with the searches themselves. The MACHS Name Search Portal changes include notarized letter requests that mirror the Fingerprint Search workflow process in the MACHS Fingerprint Search website.
The implementation provides the MSHP CCH Admin personnel real-time access to Name Searches provided through the MACHS Name Search Portal.
The MACHS Portal is a version of the CPI solution called OpenFox® iRAP (Internet Record Access Portal).
