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