Original Request

I am seeking information regarding the issue of Fixed Penalty Notices (including Endorseable FPN) by the Constabulary for the calendar year 1 January 2017 â€' 31 December 2017 inclusive. Accordingly, for that time period, can you tell me how many FPNs/EFPNs were issued by each discrete area of the Constabulary (e.g. Southern Neighbourhood Policing Team, Roads Policing Unit etc.) and, in simple terms (e.g. parking offence, exceeding the speed limit etc), the offences for which each FPN/EFPN was issued?
