Photo Enforcement
Each year, thousands of people are killed in traffic-related accidents. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in 2012 there was a total of 34,080 deaths related to motor vehicle crashes. Red light cameras are one tool used by hundreds of law enforcement agencies across the country to modify driver behavior and make our roads safer. The City of Sherwood began monitoring two of its intersections with a Red Light Photo Enforcement Program in November of 2010 and added Speed Enforcement in October of 2018. All evidence packages are reviewed by local law enforcement before citations are issued.
If you have received a Photo Enforcement Citation, refer to the Instruction Page located in the citation packet. It explains your available options and provides information to access a 12-second video of the violation online.
Make a decision on which plea you would like to enter and respond in one of the following ways:
- PAY the fine online by going to www.citepayusa.com. (NOTE: Paying online requires a guilty plea and will result in a guilty finding.)
- APPEAR before the Judge at the Arraignment Hearing. The date, time and location for your arraignment is shown on the bottom of the Summons page.
- CONTACT Municipal Court Staff before your Arraignment Hearing Date.
- MAIL the Payment Coupon (found on the Options Page included in the citation packet) with your signed plea of Guilty or No Contest with a check or money order for the full amount of the presumptive fine.
- SUBMIT a letter of explanation (see Option 2 on the Options Page).
- PLEAD Not Guilty and request a Trial or Trial by Affidavit (see Options 3 or 4 on the Options Page).
IF YOU ARE NOT THE DRIVER:
A Certificate of Innocence Form is included in the citation packet. This form can be completed and returned to the Sherwood Police Department WITH THE APPROPRIATE REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION if (1) the vehicle was sold, (2) the vehicle or plates were stolen or (3) the person named on the citation was not the driver.
FOR BUSINESSES:
A Certificate of Non-Liability Form is included in the citation packet. This form can be completed and returned to the Sherwood Police Department to have the citation transferred to the driver. PLEASE NOTE: Citations issued to businesses, if paid, result in no consequence to either the company or the driver.
