Zebra Thermal Printers Improve Police Ticketing Efficiency

Nobody likes to see those red and blue sirens in the rear view mirror, but it does happen to the best of us. Getting a ticket is never a good experience, but the slow process of creating a citation and filling out the forms and submitting the ticket can take police officers quite some time, delaying you further from your destination. In the Chicago area, some of the police forces will soon begin to try a new method of issuing citations; via thermal printer.ZebraRW420

Six Chicagoland counties, Kane, Will, DuPage, Cook, DeKelb and McHenry will soon be switching over to an electronic citation system that will save time money and resources on all involved parties. The way this new electronic system is designed to allow police officers to enter and access all necessary date via laptops in the squad car, and then allow them to print the citation on the Zebra RW 420 mobile thermal printer.

Although this is not the first time a thermal printer idea was brought up for squad car use, the Zebra RW 420 is a small, compact mobile printer at only 6” in length, these printers can easily fit anywhere in the squad car. The old printers that were used were too bulky, and often jammed and had many technical issues. These Zebra mobile printers are rugged enough to withstand drops, shock and other interferences that would come up.

After turning to Zebra for rugged, reliable mobile printers, the police departments picked up QuickTicket citation software from the Advanced Public Safety (APS).  With the swipe of a drivers license, a police officer will now be able to access your driving and personal records, issue a citation and print that citation in only a few short minutes.

This ticketing solution will also be applied to other sectors of the cities citations, such as parking & towing.  With all the detailed information printed out immediately, both the officer and the alleged offender will quickly both have all the information needed for their respective purposes. The QuickTicket software will even allow multiple languages for urban areas with multi-cultural and lingual citizens.

Along with saving money wasted on extra paper, Officers will also be able to clearly read the tickets, a common issue that can clog the phone lines of a station. With the citation process taking less time, the police officers will have more time to patrol and do their job, while getting citations issues in less time.

I believe it is safe to say that this trend of using mobile thermal printers will only grow among police departments across the country, as it saves all parties involved time, money and other valuable resources.
