They will dismiss if officer does not appear. Unless there is good cause for continuance.

If this is your first appearance, the officer won’t be there and the judge won’t dismiss. On the first court date, you can set it for trial. On that date, if the officer fails to appear, the case would be dismissed.

I agree with Michael. It sounds like this is your due by date. You should check the status of the ticket online. Most likely it will give you multiple options including to set an arraignment date. You will want to select that option if you choose to fight the ticket. If you are interested in fighting the ticket please let me know and I would be happy to assist you.
