Who Writes the Tickets in Elk City
The Beckham County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Elk City (filed by the FBI as Elk City Police Department) write the traffic tickets in and around Elk City.
The FBI's agency list also places one more agency in Beckham County: Sayre Public Schools (other agency).
The Driving Record and Service Oklahoma
Convictions are reported by the court to Service Oklahoma, 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 Service Oklahoma 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 Service Oklahoma (see Elk City DUI).
