Who Writes the Tickets in Suisun City
The Solano County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Suisun City (filed by the FBI as Suisun City Police Department) write the traffic tickets in and around Suisun City.
The FBI's agency list also places three state police units, one other agency and one campus police department in Solano County (the arrest records guide names each one); the Highway Patrol's three offices write the tickets on the state highways.
The Driving Record and the California Department of Motor Vehicles
The driving record is a separate document from the court file. It is kept by the California Department of Motor Vehicles, which adds each conviction the court reports and handles suspensions; the court does not issue driving records.
Paying a ticket is a conviction, reported to the California Department of Motor Vehicles like any other; contesting it means a plea of not guilty entered with the court by the date on the ticket.
A DUI is a criminal charge rather than a ticket, with its own license case before the DMV (see Suisun City DUI).
