The Central Ticket Office Department has provided the following information:

In 2025, how many Fixed Penalties or Prosecutions were issued by your force for:
* Cycling on a footpath or causeway by the side of any road made or set apart for the use or accommodation of foot passengers
* Cycling with no obligatory lamps fitted
* Cycling with lamps/reflectors not maintained or clean
* Cycling without appropriate lights between sunset and sunrise
* Cycling while carrying more than one person

* Cyclist contravening a traffic sign or road marking
* Cyclist contravening a traffic sign, signal or line

Can you also please break these figures down by individual area.

Dorset Police issue paper Traffic Offence Reports (TOR’s) or submit Digital Traffic Offence Reports (PRONTO) which can result in HORT1, VDRS, EDUCATION, CONDITIONAL OFFER OF FIXED PENALTY or COURT.

The data therefore identifies the number of TORs / PRONTO processed at the Central Ticket Office.
