I respectfully recommend the following program be approved for the use of these funds: Traffic Accident Computerization The purchase of Department of Public Safety compliant Accident Reporting software and laptop computers for the traffic unit officers. Currently we data enter accident information into the CISCO system for statistical purposes only. It produces no ouput for us to give the customer so; we have to give them a copy of the hand written report. Purchasing software already approved by DPS will allow us to give the customer a professional looking report, enhancing the Department's image. Providing the traffic unit officers with laptops would allow them to enter their reports directly, reducing the demand on records clerks, as well as give them the opportunity to utilize reconstruction software, recall software, etc. (that have already been purchased) in the field, reducing the time spent in the station.
