Who Writes the Tickets in Pompano Beach
The Broward County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Pompano Beach (filed by the FBI as Pompano Beach Police Department) write the traffic tickets in and around Pompano Beach.
The FBI's agency list also places three other agencies, six state agencies and one state police unit in Broward County (the arrest records guide names each one); the Highway Patrol in Broward County writes the tickets on the state highways.
The Driving Record and the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles
The driving record is a separate document from the court file. It is kept by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and 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 Florida Department of Highway Safety and 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 Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (see Pompano Beach DUI).
