DMV Automation Aids Law Enforcement Officers
The Division of Motor Vehicle® has implemented a new automated procedure to keep pace with the Highway Safety Program passed by the 1968 General Assembly.
The Division is receiving well over 1,000 requests each twenty-four hours from law enforcement officers who need driving records of personsi apprehended for traffic offenses. These records are taken to the courts as each new offense is tried. Commonwealth’s attorneys make use of these reports in trying a case. If a person is found guilty of a traffic offense, the court or jury may consider the prior record before imposing; sentence.
As the number of drivers has increased in the State, the number of offenses has also increased. To get these driving records out manually on a timely basis would be virtually impossible. Through the use of automation, the Division now produces over 1,000 driving records in about four hours machine time.
The driving records are mailed directly to the jurisdiction in which the police officer is located. Where requested, copies are mailed directly to Commonwealth’s attorneys.
