The team also processes traffic citations issued on Fort Drum, and prosecutes certain criminal offenses committed on post in U.S. Magistrate Court through the Special Assistant U.S. Attorney (SAUSA) program.
If you receive a ticket or citation on Fort Drum, do not ignore it. Unpaid violations and failure to appear in court may result in suspension of driving privileges or a bench warrant.
