Electronic Citation Management

Officers issue citations from a mobile device in the field; cases initiate in the court system automatically, with payment links sent to the recipient, cutting data entry, errors, and time-to-hearing.

Filed electronic traffic citation on a phone with a notification that it was filed with the court and a payment link sent

Handwritten citations are re-keyed at the station, slowly and with errors.

Paper citations delay case initiation, introduce transcription mistakes, and give recipients no easy way to resolve them. Electronic citations file with the court the moment they’re issued and put a payment option in the recipient’s hand.
