A more thorough explanation:

A police magistrate is a type of judicial officer who has jurisdiction to try minor criminal offenses, breaches of police regulations, and similar violations. They are also known as police justices.

For example, a police magistrate may preside over cases involving traffic violations, disorderly conduct, or petty theft. They have the power to impose fines, issue warrants, and order individuals to appear in court.
