Florida’s Computerized Criminal History (CCH) system was implemented 40 years ago. The significantly outdated processes and technology resulted in excessive development time and maintenance of the system. Over the years, FDLE had patched code and stretched the system to do things it was never intended to perform. The technology stack of the existing CCH was limited and made it difficult to provide the services and scalability required of criminal justice information systems.

The CCH system is a central part of the Florida criminal justice information system, and it supports a large portion of the information services. Every part of the criminal justice community relies on criminal history, police, investigations, determining bonds, prosecution, sentencing, and corrections classification. The CCH system is tied to other critical systems, like the Biometric Identification System (BIS) and the Florida Crime Information Center (FCIC), and is necessary for them to function fully.

In addition to the age of the system, Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) staff assigned to use the CCH system are required to perform most of their business processes, or workflow, manually. The manual, paper-based processes used today are no longer practical considering the higher number of CCH records compared to 30-40 years ago.
