Where a Ticket Written in Shiloh Goes
A traffic ticket written in Shiloh is answered in the Circuit Court of St. Clair County. The ticket itself is a court case, and the court's index is the record of it.
For St. Clair County, SearchSystems opened and checked the court records page for the county at co.st-clair.il.us/WebDocuments/Departments/CircuitClerk/AttorneyRes... (page title: RULES OF PRACTICE CIRCUIT COURT OF ILLINOIS TWENTIETH JUDICIAL COURT), which answered when SearchSystems opened it on October 11, 2026.
Illinois has no single public index of every trial court case; each court's records are looked up through that court.
Who Writes the Tickets in Shiloh
The St. Clair County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Shiloh (filed by the FBI as Shiloh Police Department) write the traffic tickets in and around Shiloh.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in St. Clair County: Alton and Southern Railway and Union Pacific Railroad in St. Clair County (other agency); Southwestern Illinois College (campus police).
The Columbia Police Department, the New Baden Police Department, the Collinsville Police Department and one more are each listed by the FBI across several counties including St. Clair County, so their arrests are not broken out for St. Clair County here.
The Driving Record and the Illinois Secretary of State
The driving record is a separate document from the court file. It is kept by the Illinois Secretary of State, 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 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 Shiloh DUI).
