Who Writes the Tickets in Bartlett
The DuPage County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Bartlett (filed by the FBI as Bartlett Police Department) write the traffic tickets in and around Bartlett.
The FBI's agency list also places two other agencies and two campus police departments in DuPage County (the arrest records guide names each one).
The Hanover Park Police Department, the St. Charles Police Department, the Bolingbrook Police Department and two more are each listed by the FBI across several counties including DuPage County, so their arrests are not broken out for DuPage County here.
The Driving Record and the Illinois Secretary of State
Convictions are reported by the court to the Illinois Secretary of State, which keeps the driving record and decides on points and suspensions. Order the driving record from that agency, not from the court.
Paying a ticket is a conviction, reported to the Illinois Secretary of State 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 Secretary of State (see Bartlett DUI).
