Simi Valley, Calif. – Simi Valley Police Department received a $74,000.00 grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) for a traffic records improvement project to report crash and citation data faster and more efficiently.
“By adopting a data-driven approach to traffic management, we have the opportunity to increase safety on the roads within our community,” Commander Ritchie Lew said. "With this funding, we will be able to deploy a state-of-the-art electronic system for reporting crash and citation data, a significant stride towards improving our responsiveness by focusing on high-priority traffic resource areas.”
Grant funds will pay for a new electronic citation solution system that includes the capability of exporting data to both a departmental records management system (RMS) as well as the local court records system.
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
