Sandy, Oregon, in Clackamas County, has about 13,000 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 Sandy Goes
A ticket written by a deputy or a state trooper in Sandy goes to the Clackamas County Circuit Court; one written by city police goes to that city's municipal and justice court where it has one. Either way the ticket is a court case, and the court's index is the record of it.

Who Writes the Tickets in Sandy
The Clackamas County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Sandy (filed by the FBI as Sandy Police Department) write the traffic tickets in and around Sandy.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Clackamas County: the Clackamas County Liquor Commission (state agency); the Clackamas County State Police (state police); the Clackamas County State Police writes the tickets on the state highways.
The Tualatin Police Department and the Portland Police Department are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Clackamas County, so their arrests are not broken out for Clackamas 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 Sandy DUI).
