Explanation

Need: The Division of Police needs to purchase 109 Virtual Partner software licenses and additional software for the E-Ticketing hardware being installed in the 2008 police cruisers. These licenses and additional software must be purchased for the hardware to be operational. The Columbus Division of Police cruisers will have the ability to electronically issue traffic citations from the mobile computer in their patrol cars. The officers will be able to complete traffic citations in less than 60 seconds. The patented application captures data from the CAD/Mobile data system and auto populates an electronic version of the citation on a computer screen. The traffic offender's information is obtained using data returned from NCIC, motor vehicle queries or their driver's license. This application will increase law enforcement officers effectiveness and efficiency through time saving techniques that link law enforcement databases to the existing Franklin County Municipal Court Clerk's computer systems, enabling the immediate transfer of data between the Franklin County Municipal Court, the Franklin County Municipal Clerk's office, the Bureau of Criminal Identification & Investigation and the Bureau of Motor Vehicles.

Bid Information: Ordinance 1005-2007, approved by Columbus City Council on 06/14/07 authorized a contract between Franklin County Municipal Court for E-Ticket program with Advanced Public Safety (APS).
