The personnel assigned to the UW Madison Police Department Court Services are essentially liaisons between the police officers, District Attorney's Office, Clerk of Courts Office, and the Circuit Court.
Court Services personnel process traffic citations, UW Administrative Code Citations, Misdemeanor arrests, and Felony arrests. After the police reports are submitted to the District Attorney's Office, Criminal Complaints are prepared for court. These sworn documents are then filed with the court system to start the prosecution of the defendants. After the citations and/or arrests have proceeded through the legal system, the disposition of those cases are returned to the department and entered into our computer records system. Our court services personnel work diligently to keep the relationship between the District Attorney's Office and our agency running in the most confident and efficient manner possible.
