Unless it is forbidden by state law, local law, or department policy, yes. All on site actions are subject to review by the chain of command and can be changed if appropriate.
However any competent representation will likely question what caused the citation to be issued after the fact and to question what knowledge the sergeant possessed that the investigation officer did not.

Can you have your speeding ticket dismissed if the county officer put the wrong highway on the ticket?
It depends on whether or not he corrects the error before he swears before a judge or magistrate that the citation is correct. If he swears that you were speeding on I 65, and you were speeding on I 95, then it is not valid. If he fixes it on his copy and then swears to it, then it doesn't matter what your copy says.

If you received a Massachusetts Uniform Citation for speeding and the officer does not check the box for all civil infractons or any box in that section do I have grounds to get the ticket thrown out?
No, an officer's error in properly filling out the citation does not GUARANTEE it will be thrown out, and is in no way by itself a reason for being found "not responsible" However if the judge decides that the officer could have also made a mistake on say the "infraction itself" then the judge may call the officers attention to detail into question wondering what else the officer could have made a "mistake" on.
In Indiana traffic citation written with incorrect information wrote car as 2001 instead it is a 2002 is the ticket valid should i fight it?
You may have a chance. I was given a citation for speeding in D.C. and the officer wrote the wrong street name on the ticket. I beat it in court as I contended that I was not on Maine Avenue that day and the officer admitted that he and I were on MacArthur Blvd., not Maine Ave. Case closed. Information must be accurate.
