Dunwoody’s municipal court – which handles traffic citations and crimes such as shoplifting and DUI arrests – has nearly doubled its contribution back to the city.
The court collected $645,901 in fines in 2009, its first year of operation. In 2010, the court collected $1.14 million in fines.
The city spends about $325,000 to run the court yearly, which handled 1,171 defendants last year.
The statistics are part of a State of the Court report from Judge Antonio DelCampo. The report also notes that the court ordered 3,556 hours of community service, most of it in Dunwoody, in 2009. Last year, that figure exploded to 17,833 hours of service.
