sends LEDS to AD to make the fitness determination• ADs and CPs take appropriate action based on final fitness
determination• ADs and CPs partner with BCU to ensure compliance and continued
safety and security practices

Benefits of Current System
• Ability to hire on a preliminary basis based on disclosed criminal history
• In the past, turn around times from BCU were too long to support operational needs.
• AD’s knowledge of the SI’s duties and the nexus of their history to them

Challenges experienced with current system
• Security– 3 Security incidents in past 6 months. LEDS was compromised.
• Based on a paper process. Full CRIMS implementation begins 2/20• Consistency in fitness determinations• Arduous certification process that doesn’t meet everyone’s needs• Turn around times from BCU are more reasonable, especially with
the implementation of CRIMS• Ongoing training and support for BCU staff has increased position
knowledge.

New system
• Centralize fitness determination in BCU for greater security and efficiency, and consistent access to abuse, court and police records.
• Status of ADs and CPs updated to Qualified Entity Designee (QED)• Maintain partnership with all QEDs

Benefits of New System
• Addresses security vulnerabilities.• Will result in quicker, overall turn around times due to reduction in
motion and transportation.• Consistency in process and practice.• Consistent access to information such as police reports, court
records, etc.• Decreased need for storage space.• Allows staff currently dedicated to fitness determinations more time
to dedicate to QE’s mission critical functions.• Increased Safety: As CRIMS rolls out, beginning 2/20, BCU will see
records more quickly than with the paper process. This will allow potential risk to be mitigated more quickly.
