1. Determine that the citation is with the City of Fayetteville Police Department. Our Citations look like the one pictured. 
Be sure it is not with  (A.) A state trooper, (B.) A county Deputy or for another Department.  * There is a black bar to the right of the page that says officer. If possible, read who wrote the citation. 

2. Look at the bottom of the citation. Verify when you have court.  Check the date , time and location. A city officer can write a ticket for city court ( Located at the Police Department) or for the Lincoln County Court House  (located in the center of the town square).  When calling to check on a ticket you have received, please provide the name located on the ticket and the ticket # (located at the top right of the ticket).  All city court dates will be held at the police department on either a Monday or Thursday at 1:00 p.m. * If you are still confused when your court date and/or time is, please contact 931-438-7771.
