Note on column headings: Investigations: “Court prosecutions” indicate the number of investigation cases that went to prosecution, whereas “Tickets” indicate the number of investigation cases for which a ticket was issued. Inspections: “Tickets” represent the number of times a ticket was used to address a regulation infraction (which is approximately equivalent to the number of tickets but, for example, if in one inspection case one ticket is used to address an infraction on two regulations this would be counted as two tickets). Counts: “Counts from Investigations” are equivalent to the number of counts, whereas “Counts from Inspections” indicate the number of violated sections addressed through a ticket or prosecution. This number of inspection counts may be lower than the actual number of counts because it does not reflect multiple counts under the same section.
