Indiana’s Judicial and Executive branches have received more than $2.4 million in federal grants to launch a statewide electronic ticket system called eCWS (electronic Citation and Warning System) that will give law enforcement officers the ability to produce electronic tickets in the field and relay that information to a central repository for law enforcement, prosecutors and the courts without additional data entry or the need to decipher handwriting.

Current pilot officers include two Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Officers and a Trooper from the Indiana State Police, an Officer with the Fishers Police Department and a Deputy from the Boone County Sheriffs Department.
