Can I pay my ticket at the police department?
I made a report with an officer, can I pick up the report the same day?
Reports typically take 3 to 7 business days to complete. The reason for this is because officers return to the station, write a draft, submit their draft to their supervisor. Once the supervisor reviews and approves the report, then the report can be picked up.
