2024 Arizona GOHS Grant Awarded to UAPD

MEDIA RELEASE 

Tucson, Arizona (March 7, 2024) – The University of Arizona Police Department (UAPD) has been awarded a grant from the Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety (GOHS) in the amount of $54,485. These funds will be used to purchase equipment necessary for implementation of the Traffic and Criminal Software (TraCS) system.  

TraCS is an electronic citation and collision reporting program used by agencies across the nation. The system and equipment allow officers to quickly scan and print documents in their vehicles. This technological advancement will help officers spend minimal time when completing citations, warnings, and collision reports.  Additionally, the implementation of TraCS will reduce the amount of time motorists and officers spend on the side of the roadway and improve data accuracy.

The University of Arizona Police Department would like to thank the Arizona Governor’s Office of Highway Safety for their continued support of our efforts to make the University of Arizona a safer place to work, study, and visit.
