Books authored by
law enforcement officials of the Winnebago County Sheriff's Department:
The Patrol Bureau now employs a wireless
system for its squad cars where officers can write and submit police reports and crash reports electronically. In addition
to this, printers have been installed in all marked squads so tow-in reports and crash reports can be printed out while on
scene. In the near future traffic citations will be computer generated and printed from the squad cars as well.”
