IOWA SUMMARY OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS

    Iowa law provides for Administrative License Revocation of driving privileges for DWI, which is separate from the outcome of the judicial proceedings. The system is designed to follow the offender from the initial contact with the officer at the roadside through the system to the offender completing the requirements of the sanctions imposed administratively and judicially.

    1. Utilize driver and vehicle data from mobile data communication queries to allow seamless transfer to Traffic and Criminal Reports (TraCS) for file/form population.  Accomplished through integrating TraCS and "Quick Import" software.
      1. Remote data access
      2. Integration with TraCS

    2. Integrate Datamaster with TraCS (BAC data).
      1. Establish communications/interface between TraCS and Datamaster Evidentiary Breath Test device. Data from TraCS is transferred to Datamaster and test results returned to, stored, and printed and/or electronically transmitted from TraCS

        3. Integration with TraCS
    3. Pilot satellite communications as a mobile data solution in geographically remote and widely distributed areas.
    4. Populate a central repository with information from TraCS citations and driving while intoxicated arrests.  A check against the repository informs the officer of recent citations, warnings and driving while intoxicated contacts. The central repository also returns information about the status of a person with the Department of Corrections and the local Jail Booking System. Driving While Intoxicated and Citation data is transferred from the central "real-time" repository to the Data Justice Warehouse (DJW).  The DJW stores and tracks the Criminal Adjudication.
