Standardizing law enforcement processes and procedures using bar code- enabled technology has resulted in both organizational and operational management improvements. According to the Bureau of Justice Assistance, the use of electronic citations can eliminate up to 200 keystrokes of data input per traffic citation, thereby saving time and labor -- in addition to increasing conviction and fine-collection rates. A city in Massachusetts is saving more than $100,000 annually in citation processing costs alone since implementing an electronic system.
