Zebra Mobile Printers
Key to New Traffic Citation Applications That Unlock
Greater Efficiencies, Revenues for Law Enforcement Agencies
More Public Safety Agencies Spend On Mobile/Wireless Data Capture, Printing
And Reporting Technologies To Collect Better Data And More Fines
VERNON HILLS,
Ill., March 1 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Zebra Technologies (Nasdaq: ZBRA ),
a global leader in delivering on-demand specialty printing solutions for business
and process improvement, reports its compact mobile and wireless printers
are increasingly being incorporated into software solutions and electronic
systems for law enforcement agencies by Zebra value-added resellers (VARs).
Zebra's full line of mobile printers -- including the Zebra RW 420, QL Series
and Cameo Series -- have proven to be rugged, reliable workhorses for the
on-demand issuance of citations for traffic and parking violations, as well
as accident report documentation.
Robert Danahy, director of global mobile
and wireless technology for Zebra, explains:
"News of technology advancement spreads quickly
in the law enforcement community. Early adopters of automated
mobile systems and wireless computing platforms have reported
significant benefits, from reduced staff time to better
record-keeping to higher revenue from increased fine collections.
Given the budget pressures on state and local governments
to do more with less," he asked, "who wouldn't be eager
to get behind a solution that actually helps their department
collect money?"
Several examples of how law enforcement agencies
are deploying mobile and wireless technology to transform
traffic and parking citation transactions follow:
Florida Police Department Adopts an Advanced
Wireless Platform
The Hollywood, Florida Police Department is migrating its traffic control and
record-keeping processes to QuickTicket and Virtual Partner, a real-time mobile
application suite developed by Advanced Public Safety, Inc. (APS) of Deerfield
Beach, FL, a leading software firm specializing in public safety solutions.
"We look forward to the operational benefits
the new system will provide for our department and traffic
officers," said Capt. Joseph Healey in Hollywood PD's Support
Services Division. "The applications, combined with Zebra's
RW 420 mobile printer, will enhance efficiency, increase
accuracy and eliminate the need for multiple data entry,
allowing officers to upload their data wirelessly at the
end of their shift into the main records database." For more

"In
today's world of competing budget priorities and belt-tightening
policies, state, municipal and township law enforcement agencies
are finding mobile and wireless technology to be a practical,
cost-effective solution. Zebra is excited to be on the forefront
of such advances in this technology, and to be able to work
collaboratively with our channel partners and customers," concludes
Danahy.
