Nolle Pros is short for Nolle Prosequi. A Latin term which essentially means that the prosecution declines to prosecute. Comp PTI would refer to the reason the case has been nolle pros'ed. I would probably say that it refers to completion of a Pre-Trial Intervention program, but it may have another meaning in that court district.

Most likely, the defendant has participated in an intervention/diversion program, has successfully completed it, and the prosecution therefore has, declined to prosecute.

Can a case be reopened after it was nolle prossed?

Nolle Prossed ("Nolo Prosequi") means not prosecuted, meaning the prosecutor declined to prosecute the case. While this means that the case CANNOT be reopened once it's closed, charges can be refiled if later there is enough evidence to proceed. If the case was nolle prossed in exchange for a pretrial offer (Pre-trial intervention, or restitution for a bad check, etc.), then once the conditions of the pre-trial offer is met within a certain period of time without any arrests, the case is closed forever.


Why can't a traffic court judge offer to the defendant case dismissed vs nolle prosequi?

A traffic court judge typically cannot offer to dismiss the case outright because it is ultimately the prosecutor's decision to bring or drop charges. However, a nolle prosequi decision by the prosecutor means they are choosing not to prosecute, effectively leading to the case being dismissed without prejudice, allowing for the possibility of charges being refiled later if needed.
