Our electronic Citation & Warning System (eCWS) is getting a lot of great attention regionally in places like South Bend, LaPorte, Lafayette, Chicago Land and now eCWS is getting noticed internationally, too. On Wednesday, Sgt. Blair Falkinson of the Toronto Police Service flew from Canada to Indianapolis to see JTAC’s full-service eCWS system in action.
Blair saw the system work from the moment a ticket is written and how it’s submitted to the prosecutor, court, and to the BMV. He is interested in getting the software from JTAC for customization and then deployment in Toronto.
Blair will return to Canada with his findings to begin the process of a feasibility study. We showed the eCWS application on a laptop and on the mobile handheld device, the prosecutor screen of the eCWS Central Repository, the Odyssey CMS, and the INCite BMV application.
The Toronto Police Service has approximately 5,700 uniformed officers and 2,500 civilian employees.
