ATTACHMENT
This purchase will provide technology enhancements that will significantly improve officer safety by providing a
voice response to vehicle and person field queries so that officers do not have to shift their vision from possibly
dangerous suspects. The electronic ticketing device will further improve officer safety by minimizing the contact
an officer has with the traffic violator. Additionally, these electronic devices will increase officer efficiency by
eliminating errors on the manually written citations through use of electronic swipes to accurately capture
driver's information and electronically transfer that information to citations, the department record system and
ultimately the Clerk of Courts. These actions will improve the speed and accuracy of issuing citations, resulting
in fewer citations being dismissed. Time savings realized through use of these technology enhancements will
allow more time for the officer to remain on patrol.
