Staff Person:
Justification:
Police
Heath Douglas, IT Infrastructure Manager
The proposed software maintenance agreement describes the system maintenance and support
activities to be provided by Brazos Technology Corp. through the purchase of an Automated Mobile
Handheld Citation Entry System. This system would reduce the demand for data entry on Municipal
Court personnel and create efficiencies in the police conduct of traffic stops and issuance of tickets.
Collaborating with Municipal Court, the Police Department intends to approach the project through a
phased implementation with this initial phase being a pilot phase with the purchase of handheld
devices, the necessary back-office infrastructure, and ancillary materials. It is anticipated that the
solution obtained through this funding will serve as the foundation for a City-wide e -Ticketing system
that will ultimately create the ability to file 80 percent of all Municipal Court cases via electronic media.
