Indian River County also ranked 2nd in the highest number of motorcycle fatal and injury <br />crashes for both ranking reports. By strengthening the deputies ability to substantially improve <br />the amount of time required to issue citations has encouraged an increase in traffic enforcement <br />and aided in the decrease of traffic related incidents. <br />The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration evaluates the quality of state traffic records <br />systems using 61 model performance measures. Measurements for citation/adjudication <br />databases include: timeliness, accuracy, completeness, uniformity, integration, and <br />accessibility. On the local level for Indian River County Sheriffs Office, the measurements of <br />accuracy and timeliness were not formerly documented. Both of these measurements were <br />remarkably impacted by the 93% of employees in the Patrol and Traffic Units combined that <br />issued handwritten citations. In 2013, 13% of citations received by the Central Records Unit <br />were not entered into the records management system within 5 business days per month due to <br />a combination of errors including, but not limited to: legibility, lack of completeness, and difficulty <br />in verifying information. <br />As the result of funding from the Florida Department of Transportation FY2015, the Indian River <br />County Sheriff's Office was able to begin implementing an eCitation records management <br />system by purchasing 71 mobile ticket printers to outfit 62% of deputies assigned to the patrol <br />section and traffic units with the necessary hardware for integration. The continuation of this <br />project would afford our agency with the ability to outfit all deputies in the patrol function with the <br />necessary hardware to complete the implementation process and ensure Indian River County <br />Sheriff's Office will be at 100% capacity to assist in the state of Florida's goal for data quality. <br />The current eCitation project has resulted in a 20% decrease in the number of hand-written <br />citations, timeliness, and accessibility of all traffic citations as of February 2015 respectively. <br />Implementation measures have also identified several strategies for improving performance <br />measures of accuracy and integration. Furthering the initiatve would allow the Indian River <br />County Sheriff's to be a testing agent and assist the local clerk of court in implementing and <br />preparing to receive eCitations. <br />What software and hardware is involved? (If applicable) <br />The Indian River County Sheriffs Office request consists of purchasing a quantity of 40 Zebra <br />RW420 ticket printers to integrate with our citation program eCite by PSTech. <br />List any partner agencies for the project: <br />N/A <br />List performance measures for the project, including existing benchmarks and future <br />goals: (see NHTSA's Model Performance Measures for State Traffic Records Systems) <br />Performance Measure <br />Existing Benchmark <br />Future Goals <br />Timeliness <br />A protocol was developed to <br />By fiscal year end 2016, our <br />document the mean number <br />agency goal is to achieve <br />of days from the date of <br />100% of traffic citations <br />citation issuance to the date <br />ingested error free into the <br />the citation is entered into the <br />records management system <br />records mans ement s stem. <br />RMS within 48 hours. <br />-3- 188 <br />
