The citation form shall be used to institute proceedings in
all summary cases for violations of the park rules and regulations.
The defendant's copy of the citation outlines his/her responsibility
in responding to the charge of which he/she is accused. With the exception
of the defendant's and issuing authority's copies, all other
copies will serve as prosecution reports and audit trails in all park
rules and regulations cases by the citation process.
Each citation will be prenumbered by the printer, and it shall
be the duty of the Park Ranger to maintain an accurate number record
of all such forms issued to the Park Ranger. Park Rangers shall return
all such citations either in the form of (prosecution) reports or
as voided forms.
In the event that a person is responsible for several summary
offenses, a citation will be prepared for each offense. If an investigation
reveals more than one defendant is responsible for a summary offense,
a separate citation form shall be prepared concerning each defendant.
Refer to citation form for details.
After the Park Ranger has issued a citation, a supplemental
report shall be completed. Both the (gold) police copy and the supplemental
report shall be presented to the Chief Park Ranger for approval. A
copy of the original citation will be attached to the supplementary
report.
Within five days of the issuance of a citation, the issuing
Park Ranger shall deliver the citation to the appropriate Magisterial
District Judge.
