6) What, if any, commission, bonus, or other incentive, monetary or otherwise, is available to camera operators in relation to the issuing of infringement notices.
PCNs on the red route are issued by CCTV operators, who have all completed an approved course in accordance with the London Councils Code of Practice for Operation of CCTV Enforcement Cameras, or by Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) employed by the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS), who patrol the red route on behalf of TfL. There is no bonus or any other kind of incentive paid to the officers who issue PCNs. We only enforce in congested areas where compliance with the rules is low, where there is a risk to road users’ safety, or where other traffic management initiatives have been unsuccessful.
If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for some reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.
