Drivers around Lubbock will see police doing something new starting this weekend, as the Lubbock Police Department incorporates a new technology for ticketing.
Starting Saturday, LPD officers will begin using Brazos Mobile Enforcement, a mobile application to create e-citations, according to a news release from LPD. Using city-issued cell phones, officers will use the app to scan or swipe the magnetic strip or barcode of people’s driver’s licenses, along with the VIN and vehicle registration barcodes. With this, officers will have mobile printers in their vehicles so they can give physical copies.
The app is through Tyler Technologies, a software company that has a history of experience in the public services sectors.
The Lubbock Police Department logo is seen during a ribbon cutting for their new headquarters, as seen on Wednesday, March 20, 2024.
The Lubbock City Council approved the app usage in May 2024, which expanded an ongoing contract with Tyler Technologies.
