DISCUSSION
City Council approval is requested to enter into a contract with Tyler Technologies, Inc. (Tyler), for the purchase of an Electronic Citation Data Collection System (System). Citations are used to record the facts surrounding offenses that require an individual or entity to pay a fine, post a bail amount, and/or otherwise appear in court. Citations are commonly used for traffic, city ordinance, and low-level misdemeanor law enforcement. The requested System will provide a traffic citation data entry platform on existing mobile devices and handheld printing devices for officers to provide citation copies to the cited party.
The System will decrease the time required to complete a citation from ten minutes to less than five minutes. Electronic citations will increase officer safety, increase efficiency, shorten the overall citation process, enhance the motorist’s convenience by substantially reducing time on the side of the road, and get officers back on patrol quickly to keep the community safe. The System will electronically transmit data to the Long Beach Police Department (PD) Records Management System (RMS) for data archiving. This will remove manual entry of handwritten data, reduce errors or duplications during the recording process, and allow for the electronic transmission of the citation data directly to the courts.
