Standard-Examine- People slow down when they see the white car with the beehive on it. It helps the motoring public do what is right, Greenwood said. There are only five more officers on the highway patrol now than there were in 1976, so they are finding ways to spend less time doing paperwork in order to be on the road more. They have turned to technology for help. Greenwood said. Some of the patrol cars have laptop computers in them with a huge data base that can be shared with all public safety agencies. StresamEnlng the work The laptop streamlines the reporting by keeping the information in the data base. If a driver has been stopped before, his name, address and drivers information are all in the computer and dont need to be put in again. Each officer has a stack one inch thick of papers to fill out, which takes a lot of time. The computer can put all the information onto the forms for the offi cer. A variety of documents can be generated so the trooper gets it done in less time and is out on the street more often, Greenwood said. The computer also helps officers identify where problems are, where the most accidents happen and where the violations are occurring. The highway patrol covers the whole state, and it has been taking up to three weeks for drivers to receive their court notices. Now police can pull that information up on the computer. Thats customer service, Greenwood said. Computers also reduce response time. It takes six to eight weeks to get a copy of an accident report, but with the computer you can get it by the end of the day, he said. Sharing information Utah, which leads the nation in taking drugs off the street, can share informad tion about problems with a drug-relate- national agency through computers. Court officials get a printed citation, which they can read with fewer errors. The printer in the car even signs documents for the trooper. Although not all state troopers have a computer in their car, ISO vehicles have computers in Weber, Davis and Salt Lake counties. We are using technology to make troopers more visible, said Greenwood. It is a benefit to the citizens. The Utah Highway Patrol is leading the nation in what they are doing with law enforcement technology. Greenwood advises drivers to not get involved if they see drivers acting out road rage. When you get in a car, slow down. It is nothing personal if you get run ofT the road, he said. Greenwood said drivers should dial 911 and give a description of the car, driver and the license plate number in such cases.
