Overland Park has its own court services to oversee probation out of the Overland Park probation office. They will monitor your probation, provide your ADSAP evaluation, and direct UA's. If you have a trial in Overland Park Municipal Court, it will not be to a jury, but rather be decided by the judge (Bench Trial). However, in most cases, if you lose, you have the right to appeal de novo. That means you can automatically appeal it to the district court where everything starts over, and you are entitled to a jury trial in the Johnson County District Court.
