I reviewed it from someone who works for Dorset Road Safe

It is not possible to confirm that the figures you provided are correct as you haven’t told us exactly how these figures have been sourced, aside from someone working for Dorset Road Safe.

The reports have been run again and resulted in the below tables.

Table 1 shows figures where rejected offences have not been removed. These show the closest to the number of activations. These figures include rejected offences - where the camera has activated but for one reason or another the offence cannot be prosecuted and so no Notice of Intended Prosecution has been issued.

Table 2 shows the closest reproduction of your figures. The results were exported to Excel where rejections were removed, and blanks were removed from the field indicating a Notice of Intended Prosecution had been issued. This is most likely how the figures you sent were produced.

The figures were taken from the Notice Management Reporting Software.
