Environment Enforcement Officer training course

Local Authorities have been taking on new powers from the police for over 20 years. Powers under the Environmental Act gives Councils the power to enforce environmental regulations by issuing Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs) (Criminal offences). The enforcement of these regulations must be accurate, fair, consistent and must be enforced in line with appropriate legislation and procedures.

Environmental Enforcement Officers responsibilities

Environmental Enforcement Officers issuing the FPN must be fully aware of the legal and procedural background and able to deal politely and positively with often irate members of the public. If an FPN is contested then the issue goes to court with witness statements and witnesses in person providing evidence.
This means that the environmental enforcement officers must have the technical and personal skills to efficiently carry out a wide ranging job in what can often be challenging circumstances.
