By Benjamin Flowers: Just before the new year, the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) rolled out its new Smart Check E-Ticketing System for traffic offenses, reports the Jamaica Observer.

The system, which is being rolled out in phases, saw its first phase launched on Thursday, December 30 with 20 devices and approximately 100 more to be rolled out in a month’s time.

The system is geared towards increasing speed and efficiency when issuing tickets, with information about the offense, fine, court date, and other important details being printed out on the spot.

Head of the JCF’s Information Communication and Technology Division (ICTD), Deputy Superintendent Orette Bascoe, said the system will continuously have features added to it and officers will be continually trained as the capabilities to use the system evolves.

“The officers love the system, it is more legible, efficient and the information is directly entered into the Traffic Management System,” DSP Bascoe said. “It also gives the motorist the ability to pay on the spot as the ticket can be emailed to them with a link to the payment portal.”

With the upsurge in State of Emergency violations, Belize could benefit from such as system, as officers are still writing tickets manually.
