OBJECTIVE(S): Objective 1: Improve criminal history record systems in the U.S. states and territories to support background checks for the purposes of identifying ineligible firearm purchases and persons ineligible to hold positions involving children, the elderly, or the disabled. Performance Measure 1: Percentage of state or tribal records that are automated. 2) Ensure the development of the infrastructure connects each state’s and tribe’s record systems to national records and connects each state’s background check databases to other states. Performance Measure 1: Percentage of records accessible through the III; Performance Measure 2: Number of states and tribes submitting records to the FBI’s III and NICS Indices; Performance Measure 3: Number of states and tribes participating in the FBI’s NGI fingerprint capture, POF, and Wanted Persons File.

Funds have been used to improve the availability and reporting of felony dispositions, misdemeanor convictions of domestic violence, active protection orders and warrants, and mental health information that disqualifies a person from purchasing or possessing a firearm.
• Increased participation in Interstate Identification Index (III): Since 1993, the number of states participating in the FBI’s III grew from 26 to all 50 states and the District of Columbia. There are over 95 million fingerprint-supported criminal history records accessible through III and available at the time of a background check. An average of 30 million of such exchanges occur monthly for criminal justice and noncriminal justice purposes. • National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS): Developed, in part, through NCHIP funding, the NICS now supports over 25 million record checks annually at the presale stage of firearms purchases. The number of electronically available records checked at the time of a firearm background check was nearly 100 million at year-end 2017, the latest data available from the FBI. • Domestic Violence and Protection Orders: States can submit data and flag criminal history records showing convictions for domestic violence or protection orders against people. All 50 states, the District of Columbia, and two territories are submitting records of active protection orders to the NCIC Protection Order File. As of September 30, 2018, the NCIC Protection Order file contained over 1.8 million active orders. An additional 74,000 protection orders were available for firearm-related background checks in the NICS Indices.
