The Town of Amherst, established in 1759, is the home of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst College and Hampshire College.  Located in the Berkshires with a full-time population of 37,800, an active tourist base and harsh winters the Town of Amherst needed a rugged yet flexible solution that could grow with the town's changing needs.  Officers now issue tickets with 4 - x600 handheld devices with integrated color cameras, integrated 3" thermal printers and 3G modems for online connectivity.  Integration with Civicsmart (formerly Duncan) meters for realtime payment status of parking spaces.  Photos are linked with each infraction, permit lists are loaded on the handheld daily to enable automatic lookups with each license plate, notice of Civicsmart meter query is printed on each appropriate ticket, ticket data is downloaded at the end of the shift, reviewed by administrators and seamlessly pushed to the Tyler Muni and the Town's Court system for back office processing.
