Amongst many other issues with the Department of Human and Social Services in North Dakota, special mention must be made of their Child Protection Services record keeping program (Like the Statewide Automated Child Welfare Information System). It's aptly named "FRAME" and does not seem to even come from any sort of an acronym.
The complimentary kicker in this situation is that their mental health record keeping system is called "ROPE," although ROPE is an acronym.
North Dakota still records everything about everyone and their spokesperson for the department of Human Services tries to "dance around" the way public monies are spent at the officials' discretion in the following video:
Oddly enough, they still retain the same amount of information about everybody as they used to under the "Legacy" system, but it's separated and more categorized now in a sort of umbrella system called "Oracle". To follow, is their PDF defining the different names of systems they have for keeping records/files on civillians:
