Exhibit A
Brazos eCitation software is described herein as:
The Brazos eCitation solution is an end-to-end, electronic citation solution which provides tremendous
flexibility, a high level of data security and integrity, and scalability for the future. Brazos provides the ticket
Writers/printers(can be any portable device or fixed MDT)and peripheral devices for the officers(for electronic
citations, accident reports,parking, signature capture, fingerprint capture, etc.);the back-end software for central
review, reporting, and administrative functions; and court-specific features for standardizing all citation
processing using a web-based server. Brazos is completely device-independent. The software may be run on
handhelds, laptops/MDCs,cell phones, and more—any device with a Windows,Android, or IOS operating
system can run the Brazos solution.
Brazos is a complete eCitation solution which includes a very robust backend capability that is not found with
other solutions. Some examples of those capabilities are:
• Complete control over every drop-down in the applications from the website(i.e. locations,
offenses,officers, etc.).
• Full administrative control over all users and devices to control which users can view or modify all data
fields.
• Citation Detail Reports which look exactly like the violator copy and can optionally print with the
photographs, fingerprints, signatures,video and/or audio notes.
• Complete control over the citation numbers including complete audit reports to account for all
citation numbers.
• Web-based Citation Entry Screen for entry of any paper tickets. This will allow all reports to be
complete as well as retaining all electronic interfaces for `paper' tickets.
• Detailed statistical reporting for the officers such as count reports, location reports, selective traffic
enforcement reports,racial profiling reports and many others.
• Complete history of each device including number of tickets,who was logged in, last sync dates,
and any errors or activities performed on those devices.
• Detailed workflow for citations that can include approvals,rejections, and current status of each
record with regards to each export.
• Interfaces to back-end systems(Court and Police Records)to automate and increase efficiencies within
multiple departments.
The Brazos eCitation software and integration with existing Tyler software in place and use by both KenCom
and YPD will allow for a complete electronic transfer of data from the issuing deputy to the clerk's office
seamlessly.
