Citation Module
Crossroads Software designed the Handheld Citation and Report Writing Program
with ease-of-use in mind, and the Citation Module (like the Collision Report
and DUI Arrest Report Modules) offers intuitive, efficient data-entry features.
The citation itself is organized into sections (Violator, Vehicle, Location,
Violation, and more) that are easily accessed at the touch of a button. Drop-down
lists allow for speedy data entry for pre-configured fields (such as Vehicle
Make, Vehicle Color, State, Direction, Weather, Light, and more), while the
built-in Soft Keyboard offers easy entry for free-from text boxes.
In addition, users can swipe the mag-stripe of a driver license to input driver info. The system also captures a violator's signature electronically and provides court and court day/time information. For violations, the Citation Module contains a complete codes section that provides codes and titles that can easily be selected from drop-down menus, as users first select a violation category and then specific violations within that category.
Another unique feature of the Handheld Citation and Report Writing Program is the Ticketbook, which assigns users, a specific number of tickets, and sequential citation numbers for each handheld device.
Features of the Citation Module include:
- Location of occurrence, including direction, street, and cross-street information.
- Vehicle information, with make, model, year, style, color, VIN, and insurance.
- Violator and registered owner information.
