Who Writes the Tickets in Lilburn
The Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office, the Gwinnett County Police Department and the agency that reports for Lilburn (filed by the FBI as Lilburn Police Department) write the traffic tickets in and around Lilburn.
The FBI's agency list also places one other agency, one state police unit and two campus police departments in Gwinnett County (the arrest records guide names each one); the State Patrol at Lawrenceville writes the tickets on the state highways.
The Auburn Police Department, the Doraville Police Department, the Loganville Police Department and one more are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Gwinnett County, so their arrests are not broken out for Gwinnett County here.
The Driving Record and the Georgia Department of Driver Services
The driving record is a separate document from the court file. It is kept by the Georgia Department of Driver Services, 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 Georgia Department of Driver Services 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 Driver Services (see Lilburn DUI).
