Who Writes the Tickets in West Jordan
The Salt Lake County Sheriff's Office, the Unified Police Department and the agency that reports for West Jordan (filed by the FBI as West Jordan Police Department) write the traffic tickets in and around West Jordan.
The FBI's agency list also places one campus police department and three other agencies in Salt Lake County (the arrest records guide names each one).
The Driving Record and the Utah Driver License Division
Convictions are reported by the court to the Utah Driver License Division, 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 Utah Driver License Division 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 the Driver License Division (see West Jordan DUI).
