You must complete a review form including your explanation for challenging the citation. The police review officer will verify that the citation was issued lawfully, if not, the citation will be dismissed and you will be advised on the same form. You may contest the citation to an independent reviewing official if it was issued lawfully. You may finally contest your ticket in court by filing a civil action against the city and appearing before a local magistrate. There is a copy charge if you want a copy of the report, though you may look at the report for free.
Identification is required.
Your insurance company will purchase copies of any collision you are involved in. You can call our Crime Prevention Officer, Mike Parsons at 707 967-2850.

The Police Department relies on the eyes of our citizens to alert us to unusual situations.
