Who is responsible for the development of department citations?

The development of department citations is primarily the responsibility of the Traffic Bureau Commander. This role encompasses overseeing traffic enforcement and related operations, positioning the Traffic Bureau Commander as a key figure in establishing citation protocols, which ensures that they are in line with departmental standards and state laws. By directing the citation development process, the Traffic Bureau Commander ensures that officers have clear guidelines for issuing citations, thereby promoting consistency and accountability in enforcement practices.

Other roles such as the Property Clerk, Civil Court Judge, and Administrative Officer may be involved in different aspects of law enforcement or judicial processes, but they do not focus specifically on the creation and regulation of department citations related to traffic enforcement.
