Disposition Error Reporting System

Maryland's Department of Public Safety and Correction Services (DPSCS) developed a program to identify submitted dispositions for which there were no associated records in Maryland's Criminal Justice Information System-Central Repository (CJIS-CR).  The overall project goal was to improve the quality of the Maryland criminal history database by improving disposition matching on an ongoing basis using an automated error-reporting program and manual correction process.

The project was implemented in three phases during 2013-2014:

Phase I 
  •  
Established performance measures 
  •  
Designed error report program and feedback protocol 
Phase II 
  •  
Completed error report programming
  •  
Tested error reporting process 
Phase III
  •  
Reviewed status of statewide implementation 
  •  
Provided technical assistance for NEIM and GRA conformance in future iitiatives 
  •  
Updated performance measures 
  •  
Defined methodology for future performance measurement
