This depends on the laws of the state where the citation is issued and the nature of the charge. A citation is simply a summons to appear in court to answer to a charge. In many jurisdictions, it can be issued/signed by anyone who wants to bring a charge against another person. In signing the citation, the person making the accusation is swearing to the court that the offense was committed by the person named in the citation, and can be charged with false swearing or a civil claim of false arrest if the charge is baseless.

Can an off duty police officer shoot at someone who is driving off after they attempted burglary?
It makes no difference if the officer is on or off duty. A police officer is sworn to uphold the law 24/7/365 - his authority goes with him wherever he goes.Not really enough is disclosed about the situation to give more than a general answer.

I received a ticket issued by community college Police - not real police - for expired tags while parked in their lot - there's no court listed on the ticket - Are private tickets enforceable in CA?
Are they police or security? If they're sworn LEOs, they're just as much real police as any other police agency, and citations issued by them are very much enforceable, to the point where your license may be suspended for nonpayment. And if they're at a community college, they're either an agency of the state of Calfornia (and therefore, not private), or else they're contractors with the state of California, and have full law enforcement powers. Public schools don't have private police unless it's an agency with a state contract.
What is the cop at a court case called?
Not exactly sure what you're asking, but you may be talking about the bailiff. A bailiff isn't a police officer, at least not locally to me, but he is the court appointed officer.Additional: The duties of the uniformed officer(s) stationed in a court room is to maintain security, keep order, guard prisoner-defendants, attend to the jury, and supply judicial protection. These officers are known by the title of BAILIFF. They usually possess the powers of law enforcement officers in their jurisdiction, and are usually uniformed. Although they resemble police - as noted above - in some places this duty is not customarily performed by sworn police officers. Rather it can be performed by civilian employees of the court system - or, (in many other jurisdictions) by Deputy Sheriff's - or even State Marshalls.
