Tyler
Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) signed an agreement with the city of
Fort Worth, Texas, for Tyler's Brazos™ electronic citation
solution. The city's police, code enforcement, and parking enforcement
departments will all use the public safety solution to streamline
citations by moving from paper to electronic processes.
The city of Fort Worth was familiar with Tyler's Brazos implementation
in the nearby city of Arlington, Texas, and chose Tyler after its bid
through the National Joint Powers Alliance (NJPA).
The city's three departments will use and benefit from Brazos in
different ways. The police department will receive 150 handheld ticket
writer units, which will be used with Brazos' electronic citation
solution. The solution will interface with the court's software as well
as with its active directory, allowing for real-time communication
between departments. Brazos will also allow for a user to run a query
about a resident on the handheld device, validate any possible warrants
on that person, and automatically populate information directly into a
citation. And, the electronic tickets will be able to print in English
and Spanish.
For the parking and code enforcement departments, staff will quickly
experience time-saving benefits with the elimination of paper processes.
Parking enforcement will become more streamlined with eChalking for
parking spaces, and enable faster ticketing processes. For code
enforcement, Brazos will aid in producing electronic tickets for
specific code violations.
"Brazos' flexibility to run on different hardware is a unique offering
we provide to our clients, and we're pleased that three different
departments within the city can be connected through our solution," said
Mike McAleer, general manager of Tyler's Brazos solution. "This
agreement expands our strong presence in Texas and particularly within
the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. We're eager to help Fort Worth
streamline its citation process and help its staff better serve their
community."
Fort Worth is the 16th largest city in the U.S. and the fifth
largest city in Texas with a population of more than 850,000. Tyler also
provides its Munis solution to the Fort Worth Independent School
District.
