Gresham, Oregon, in Multnomah County, has about 112,000 residents (2024 Census Bureau estimate).

This guide says which court takes the ticket, who writes them and where the driving record lives.

Where a Ticket Written in Gresham Goes

Who Writes the Tickets in Gresham
The Multnomah County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Gresham (filed by the FBI as Gresham Police Department) write the traffic tickets in and around Gresham.
The FBI's agency list also places one state police unit, two other agencies, one state agency and one campus police department in Multnomah County (the arrest records guide names each one); the Multnomah County State Police writes the tickets on the state highways.
The Lake Oswego Police Department is listed by the FBI across three counties including Multnomah County, so its arrests are not broken out for Multnomah County here.
The Driving Record and the Oregon Driver and Motor Vehicle Services
Convictions are reported by the court to the Oregon Driver and Motor Vehicle Services, 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 Oregon Driver and Motor Vehicle Services like any other; contesting it means a plea of not guilty entered with the court by the date on the ticket.
A DUII is a criminal charge rather than a ticket, with its own license case before the DMV (see Gresham DUI).
