RKV congratulates the Missouri Department of Transportation on receiving the Governor’s Award for Efficiency / Process Improvement for the Maintenance Management System Phase 1 project! RKV worked directly with MoDOT to design, develop, test, and implement the Maintenance Management System and was honored to be represented as part of the team at the award ceremony.

Per the State of Missouri Office of Administration Commissioner’s Office’s website:

The Missouri Department of Transportation designed a web-based program to capture and report data related to all maintenance activities, including winter operations, equipment and labor. This program, known as Maintenance Management System, improves processes and captures greater efficiency among approximately 3,000 maintenance team members.

The team wanted to understand how each of MoDOT’s seven districts managed maintenance activities, what obstacles were faced, what software was used, and how tracking and reporting tasks could be made more efficient. The goal was to create a single program for maintenance personnel to assign work and equipment, as well as to document work, materials used and the location of the work. In addition, the system would provide results and performance data so leadership could make informed decisions on the best use of available resources.

This technological shift promises to make MoDOT more efficient as it continues to maintain approximately 34,000 miles of state roads and 10,400 state bridges. The access to rich amounts of reliable and timely data will take decision-making to the next level.

MoDOT continues to grow MMS and RKV continues to supply staff in developing and implementing enhancements to the system.

After successfully completing Phase 1 and 2 of the Missouri Department of Public Safety’s Information Sharing project to share Missouri’s law enforcement Record Management System (RMS) and incarceration data from Jail Management Systems (JMS) with the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI’s) National Data Exchange (N-DEx), RKV has been awarded Phase 3 of the project. In this phase, the data from call logs will be shared with the FBI’s N-DEx. Call log data is data related to phone calls incarcerated individuals make. The project is underway and scheduled to be complete the summer of 2021 which will make the State of Missouri the first state to share call log data with the FBI.

RKV will complete the design, development, and testing of this project. As always, RKV is proud to work together with the Missouri Departments of Public Safety and Correction and the Missouri State Highway Patrol to make their goals reality.

The Missouri Attorney General’s Office (AGO) awarded RKV a contract to develop a statewide evidence tracking system for sexual assault forensic evidence (SAFE) kits. The system will be used to track SAFE kits from the time they are manufactured through final disposition. SAFE kits are passed through multiple organizations including criminal justice agencies, health care providers, and forensic crime labs. Nationwide there have been issues with tracking the location and disposition of SAFE Kits. The evidence tracking system RKV will work with the AGO to build will provide a robust solution which will:

Allow organizations handling SAFE kits to have a complete and up-to-date inventory of all SAFE kits in their possession or scope of responsibility, both before and after evidence collection.
Allow organization administrators and statewide policymakers to have a better understanding of SAFE kit collection, processing, and testing dynamics through robust reporting functionality,
Maintain complete security and confidentiality of all victim or case related records contained in the ETS.
Allow victims of sexual assault or their designees to view and track the status and location of their SAFE kit at any given time.

The Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI) is a nationwide undertaking funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) at the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) that began in 2015. This initiative helps state and local jurisdictions across the country inventory and test sexual assault forensic evidence (SAFE) kits, upload eligible offender DNA profiles into a national database, investigate and prosecute cases in which offender DNA profiles match, or hit, against existing records in the database, and develop procedural and evidence tracking capacity to prevent future backlogs.

In 2018, BJA awarded the Missouri Attorney General’s Office (AGO) a three-year SAKI grant. The AGO is obligated under section 595.220, RSMo., as well as through the BJA grant, to develop a statewide evidence tracking system for sexual assault forensic evidence (SAFE) kits.
