Shepardstown Police Start e-Citations

Shepherdstown police officers no longer have to write traffic tickets — literally. Through a grant from the Governors Highway Safety Program, Shepherdstown Police Department now has e-citation printers in its six patrol cars. Instead of physically writing out a ticket, officers now type information into a mounted patrol car laptop. That data is transferred to the e-printer device mounted on the dashboard, which prints out the citation in seconds. E-citations also speed up sending data to the state Department of Motor Vehicles.
