Issuing traffic citations is one of the most common tasks in law enforcement. Virtually all police agencies that have a uniformed patrol division have some degree of traffic enforcement responsibility and this means that every day, thousands of tickets are being written across the country.
The word “written” is significant, because even though today’s patrol cars are full of computerized equipment, many agencies still rely on handwritten tickets. Moving to eCitations can provide a significant improvement on overall efficiency and data quality. More importantly, a good eCitation program will mean that officers spend less time on the side of the road and that means improved officer safety.
