Background
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), Business Systems Engineering (BSE) section is responsible for system software development and support. FDLE uses Java as the primary development platform. The strategic direction for the department is to deliver scalable, extensible, service-oriented solutions. This requires technical solution research and programming skills for the purpose of improving the infrastructure, performance, reliability, usability and maintainability of FDLE's systems portfolio.
The BSE application software developers are responsible for analyzing, designing, writing code, testing, and implementing applications/systems into production environments as well as facilitating the deployment of COTS products for use by internal FDLE members as well as the public and criminal justice agencies. This includes maintaining existing systems, enhancing systems, and development of new systems to meet legislative requirements or customer needs.
FDLE also has many other systems needing additional resources to continue the level of support required.
FDLE requires the services of a full-time contract position to enhance the Career Offender Application for Statewide Tracking (COAST) and provide support to other FDLE Information Systems.
Description of Major Duties & Deliverables
FDLE requires the services of one Systems Analyst for BSE system software development and support. The Systems Analyst will work under the direction of the BSE supervisor responsible for supporting the Career Offender Application for Statewide Tracking (COAST) within FDLE. As needed, the Systems Analyst may work on special assignments or other BSE application software needs.
The COAST is the Florida Career Offender Registry and CJNet website as required by F.S. 775.26. Career Offenders by virtue of their historical felonies present a threat to the public and communities. The Career Offender Registry allows monitoring and tracking of career offenders. Even though career offenders are the worst-of-the-worst felons, the majority tend to be incarcerated. The ones released also tend to re-offend. The Registry provides easy access to the documentation associated with a particular career offender because the documents are electronically available. The system is user-friendly which provides information to local law enforcement and potentially help them in their case work. The career offender public website allows the public citizens to search addresses with indication of career offenders who may have registered an address within 1 - 5 miles of that address.
