What are the two ways to submit Field Interview Card (FIC) information?

Submitting Field Interview Card (FIC) information electronically through TraCS (Traffic and Criminal Software) or the eJusticeNY Integrated Justice Portal (IJP) is the correct method because these systems are specifically designed to streamline the process of collecting, managing, and analyzing data related to field interviews. Using these electronic platforms ensures that the data is accurately captured, securely transmitted, and efficiently processed, which is essential for maintaining up-to-date and accessible records within the law enforcement framework.

TraCS allows officers to input FIC data during their interactions in real-time, reducing the likelihood of errors and administrative burdens associated with paper submissions. The eJusticeNY IJP provides further integration for sharing information across various justice agencies, enhancing interoperability and situational awareness.

The other methods, like mailing, in-person submissions, phone calls, or faxes, do not leverage the technological efficiencies and security protocols provided by modern electronic systems. Such methods can introduce delays and increase the risk of data loss or miscommunication.
