As the agency responsible for enforcing traffic laws, the VIPD is deeply committed to reducing roadway crashes, injuries, and fatalities. In fiscal year 2024, there were 5,037 motor vehicle crashes and 8 traffic-related fatalities across the territory. Alarmingly, traffic-related fatalities are already increasing in fiscal year 2025. This underscores the need for stronger, more efficient traffic enforcement tools—and the eCitation system is a vital part of the solution
What is eCitation?
What eCitation Does:
The eCitation system electronically captures driver and violation information, enabling peace officers to scan a driver’s license and automatically populate the required details, reducing typing and minimizing errors. After the information is collected, a digital citation is instantly created and printed for the driver, while digital copies and a record of the driver’s offenses are stored. The system updates the citation data status in real time, allowing key justice partners such as the Attorney General’s Office to quickly review and authorize the citations. From there, the data is seamlessly transmitted to the Courts and once the citation is resolved, the final disposition is sent back from the court system to the citation system.
