Who Writes the Tickets in Davison
The Genesee County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Davison (filed by the FBI as Davison Police Department) write the traffic tickets in and around Davison.
The FBI's agency list also places two campus police departments, one state police unit and two other agencies in Genesee County (the arrest records guide names each one); the Genesee County State Police writes the tickets on the state highways.
The Lennon Police Department is listed by the FBI across two counties including Genesee County, so its arrests are not broken out for Genesee County here.
The Driving Record and the Michigan Secretary of State
The driving record is a separate document from the court file. It is kept by the Michigan 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 Michigan Secretary of State like any other; contesting it means a plea of not guilty entered with the court by the date on the ticket.
An OWI is a criminal charge rather than a ticket, with its own license case before the Secretary of State (see Davison DUI).
