You were arrested by an officer whose cases result in dismissals far less often than typical. Statewide, about 35% of cases get dismissed, but this officer's dismissal rate is only 19%—16 percentage points below average. With a 80% conviction rate, cases from this officer are substantially more likely to end in conviction. This pattern places this officer in the bottom 16% statewide for dismissal rates, suggesting the cases brought tend to be stronger or proceed differently than the average arrest.

The bulk of this officer's cases fall under "Other" charges with a 17% dismissal rate, making conviction highly likely if you're charged in that category. However, your specific charge matters significantly. If you're facing drug possession or public intoxication, dismissals happen in about 43-50% of cases—substantially better odds. Trespassing charges rarely get dismissed here at 15%, similar to the overall pattern. Understanding which category your charge falls into will better indicate what typically happens in the courts handling your case.
