Who Writes the Tickets in Selinsgrove
The Snyder County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Selinsgrove (filed by the FBI as Selinsgrove Police Department) write the traffic tickets in and around Selinsgrove.
The FBI's agency list also places these agencies in Snyder County: the Snyder County State Police (state police); the Bureau of Forestry in Snyder County and the Office of Attorney General Region 2 in Snyder County (state agency); the Snyder County State Police writes the tickets on the state highways.
The Driving Record and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation
Convictions are reported by the court to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, 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 Pennsylvania Department of Transportation 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 PennDOT (see Selinsgrove DUI).
