Advanced and innovative printing solutions deliver essential benefits to law enforcement agencies. These solutions empower field officers to do what they do best: serve and protect. Public safety professionals require fast, reliable mobile printing solutions that can reduce traffic stop duration, improve accuracy & efficiency and boost revenue by eliminating illegible handwriting and error-prone manual data entry.
The various types of documents that can be printed on-demand include:
- e-Citations
- Parking violations
- Accident/crime scene investigations
- Evidence & shipping labels
- Emergency instructions
- Inspection reports
- Warning and violation notices
Industry Moves to eCitation
Mobile printers are also a critical component of today’s comprehensive eCitation solutions. In addition to a mobile printer, these systems are typically comprised of a smart device such as a laptop, tablet or handheld computer, as well as an eCitation software solution. A turn-key eCititation system enables the state, city and local public safety agencies close the loop ‘from the car to the court.’ Officers can do quick database searches for traffic violations and criminal offenses and can capture the violator’s signature, photo or fingerprint. These systems can immediately synchronize and submit citation data wirelessly to their department’s Record Management System as well as the court system.
Measurable benefits of eCitations increase officer safety by slashing dangerous roadside ticketing time in half. They also help improve revenue collection by providing 98 percent accuracy - typically, 10 to 15 percent of handwritten tickets are dismissed due to illegibility, which adds up to $600-$900 million in lost revenue, according to benefits of e-Citations.
