As listed in the General Appropriations Act, $6.8 million has been allocated in the DPS capital budget in 2024 for the department to acquire “crime records service information technology.” Another $1.4 million was allocated for a “case management and reporting system.”
The department was also previously awarded a $7.5 million Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant by the U.S. Department of Justice for the modernization of computerized criminal history data.
