PCN's issued to the MPS from January 2019 to May 2023

Freedom of information request reference no: 01.FOI.23.031091

I note you seek access to the following information:

The number of PCNs issued to the Met (for marked and unmarked police cars) in each of the past five years?

Decision

I have today decided to disclose the located information to you in full.

Please find below information pursuant to your request above.

Police vehicles are exempt from speed limits and other road traffic legislation when responding to an emergency. The Met has to wait for a PCN to be issued then, where appropriate, make representations to the issuing authority for the penalty to be rescinded.
