Abstract

A traffic records system for small and medium-sized cities and counties has been developed. The system is designed for maximum utilization of manual record-keeping procedures and for use as a supplement to existing criminal justice records. Three basic components are included in the system: input data, a filing system, and output reports. Recommendations for specific elements to be included within each component are included. The suggested system includes three levels of record keeping. The recommended level for a specific agency depends on the volume of traffic records and the capabilities of each jurisdiction. A discussion of the format used in the preparation of a manual that describes the system is included. Future plans for presenting seminars and providing technical assistance in the use of systems methods are described.
