eCite: Process Summary
This page is meant to be a reminder of the process you go through when using Mobile
Officer’s Virtual Environment (MOVE) and the eCite program to write a citation. The
manual goes into this process in detail, but for a quick reminder of this process, you can
easily refer to this page.
1. Scan the defendant’s driver’s license using the license scanner or use the
Quick License blank in MOVE to search LETS-GO for any individual with an
Alabama Driver’s License or Alabama ID Card. **See Sections 2 and 3 of the
manual for more information on this process.**
2. Use LETS-GO to search for information on individuals with an Alabama
Driver’s License. LETS-GO can be used to access both Driver and Vehicle
information if you have access to the internet as well as the appropriate login
information. LETS-GO can be set up to run automatically once a license is
scanned or once data is entered in the Quick Search field in MOVE. **See
Section 4 of the manual for more information on this process.**
3. Find your GPS location. This is easily done by using your GPS unit by clicking
the “Save Current GPS Position” button. Once your location has been
determined, you will want to be sure to include it in the Place tab of the citation.
**See Section 6 of the manual for more information on this process.**
4. Write the citation using the eCite program. There are six tabs in the citation
that need to be filled out before the citation is complete. This includes
information on the Officer & Notes, Defendant, Vehicle, Location/Time, Offense,
and Court/Bond. **See Sections 8, 9, 10, 16, and 17 of the manual for more
information on this process.**
5. WHEN YOU COMPLETE THE CITATION, REVIEW THE DOCUMENT
INFORMATION AT THE TOP OF THE CITATION TO BE SURE
EVERYTHING IS CORRECT. Check to be sure all of the information
regarding the citation is correct before you move on to printing the citation. **See
Section 8 of the manual for more information on this process.**
6. Print the citation and give the citation to the defendant. Once you have
completed the citation, print the appropriate copies and issue the defendant their
copy. Due to current legislation, a signature is no longer required on citations
issued with eCite. **See Section 24 of the manual for more information on this
process.**
