Barcode technology still delivers efficiencies

Barcode technology has been around for some time, but government organizations are still benefiting from its use. Some applications come easily to mind; barcodes are common on agency ID cards  and are frequently used for access control to a facility. They can be used for tracking assets and tagging evidence in investigations In Pennsylvania, the Buffalo Valley Regional Police Department scans the barcodes on drivers' licenses and registration cards into an app that populates citation forms, allows officers to print citations in their vehicles and sends the record of the citation to the courts. Officers noticed a significant increase in citation accuracy, in addition to spending less time writing up each citation.
