Tyler Technologies Aids New York State Police in Implementation of Stronger Background Checks for Firearms

Tyler’s solution improves efficiency and accuracy of background check process

PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) announced that the New York State Police has successfully gone live with Tyler’s State Firearm POC Background Check solution. This solution supports the recently enacted background check requirements for purchasers of ammunition and firearms in New York state, improving proficiency of the process.

In 2022, New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed legislation to implement stronger gun safety laws in New York. As part of that legislation, beginning on September 13, 2023, background checks became required for purchases of ammunition and antique firearms in New York state. The legislation also requires a mandated fee to be charged for each transaction, which funds the new background check system.

To respond to this legislation, Tyler deployed the State POC Background Check solution for New York to accommodate their point of contact (POC) requirements. In this partnership between Tyler, New York State Police, New York Office of Information Technology Services, and the FBI, New York State Police can now preemptively address any concerns of firearms and ammunition dealers and purchasers to make the process of obtaining firearms and ammunition as smooth and accurate as possible.

“We’re proud to support the New York State Police in its recently enacted legislation for strong gun safety laws,” said Michael LeBlanc, Tyler’s state enterprise general manager. “Our solution ensures that the required background checks are done precisely and completely, enhancing the overall safety for New Yorkers.”

New York marks the second state to implement Tyler’s State Firearm POC Background Check after New Jersey.
