In Brief
The demand for criminal background checks continues to increase at an unprecedented rate. Confronted by the requirement to expand services to a more diverse audience, state repositories are continually challenged to provide a cost effective and efficient delivery system while dealing with the realities of increased operating costs and shrinking budgets and staff. To help meet the challenge CPI has developed an automated web-based solution to deliver Criminal History data within seconds.
Utilizing CPI’s flagship OpenFox™ Information Broker Message Switching System, OpenFox™ “iRAP” can leverage Internet technology with your existing Criminal History infrastructure to provide an efficient and cost effective delivery system for open record requests.
