Who Writes the Tickets in Cuyahoga Falls
The Summit County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Cuyahoga Falls (filed by the FBI as Cuyahoga Falls Police Department) write the traffic tickets in and around Cuyahoga Falls.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Summit County: the University of Akron (campus police); the Akron Metro Regional Transit Authority (other agency).
The Driving Record and the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles
Convictions are reported by the court to the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, 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 Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles like any other; contesting it means a plea of not guilty entered with the court by the date on the ticket.
An OVI is a criminal charge rather than a ticket, with its own license case before the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (see Cuyahoga Falls DUI).
