Who Writes the Tickets in Cody
The Park County Sheriff's Office and the agency that reports for Cody (filed by the FBI as Cody Police Department) write the traffic tickets in and around Cody.
The Driving Record and the Wyoming Department of Transportation
Convictions are reported by the court to the Wyoming 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 Wyoming 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 DWUI is a criminal charge rather than a ticket, with its own license case before the Department of Transportation (see Cody DUI).
