Florida’s statewide Comprehensive Case Information System (CCIS) has been awarded a $527,833 grant from the National Criminal History Improvement Program (NCHIP) to expand its business intelligence and reporting capabilities.
Developed and operated by the Florida Court Clerks & Comptrollers, CCIS delivers authorized users read-only access to real-time statewide court records through one centralized portal. The system has data from more than 135 million cases involving 403 million parties and is utilized by local, state and federal government entities to protect Florida’s residents and visitors.
“CCIS has grown from an organic solution to share data across county lines into an invaluable tool connecting more than 45,000 authorized users with the vital information they need to protect our state,” said Chris Hart IV, Chief Executive Officer of Florida Court Clerks & Comptrollers. “This funding allows us to raise the bar even higher and ensure our users have the most advanced technology at their fingertips.”
The concept of CCIS was conceived in 2002 when Florida’s Clerks of Court recognized a statewide need to view court case information across county and circuit lines. It was identified in statute in 2005 and implemented statewide in 2006. CCIS is funded by a portion of a recording service charge authorized in sec. 28.24(12)(e), Fla. Stat., and received a $1.79 million grant from NCHIP in 2014* for new and upgraded features.
