Fixed penalty notices (FPNs) can be issued to deal with environmental offenses like:
– Littering
– Fly-tipping
– Dog control offenses
– Graffiti
– Fly-posting
– Nuisance parking (people selling or repairing cars on the road)
– Abandoned vehicles
– Leafleting without permission on land where leafleting is restricted (‘designated land’)

Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) are authorized to issue FPNs for littering and dog control offenses. Some police forces also authorize their PCSOs to issue FPNs for fly-posting and graffiti.
When to issue fixed penalty notices:
FPN can be issued only when all of the following are applied:

– An FPN is a proportionate response
– There’s evidence to support prosecution if the offender doesn’t pay the fixed penalty
– The offender understands why the FPN is being issued
– You believe that the name and address offered by the offender are correct
When not to issue a fixed penalty notice:
FPN is not issued if any of the following are applied:
– There’s no criminal liability
– Enforcement action is inappropriate or would be disproportionate for the offenses
– Prosecution is more suitable
– Littering is done accidentally
FPN is not issued in the following cases:
– The person in question is exempt, e.g,. a blind person whose dog has fouled in an area where a dog control order applies
– The offender is a child under the age of 10 (inform the child’s parents instead)
– Enforcement action is inappropriate or disproportionate
– The offender is vulnerable
– The offenses is trivial
– Prosecution is more suitable
– The offenses is major, eg deliberate smashing of glass or racist graffiti
– The offenses is committed by a persistent offender
– The offender is violent or aggressive
FPNs are issued on the spot, if possible. If not it can also be issued by post if necessary.
Getting the offender’s details:
Police assistance are used in the following cases:
– The offender refuses to give you their details
– The suspect the offender has given you false details
– A police community support officer (PCSO) can detain the offender for up to 30 minutes before a police constable arrives.
The offender can be fined an additional amount on top of the FPN, if they refuse to give details, or provide false details.
