Who Writes the Tickets in La Grange
The Oldham County Sheriff's Office, the Oldham County Police Department and the agency that reports for La Grange (filed by the FBI as La Grange Police Department) write the traffic tickets in and around La Grange.
The Prospect Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Oldham County, so its arrests are not broken out for Oldham County here.
The Driving Record and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet
The driving record is a separate document from the court file. It is kept by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, 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 Kentucky Transportation Cabinet 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 Transportation Cabinet (see La Grange DUI).
