Spanish term

sancionar penal o policialmente

Spanish to English Law/Patents Law (general)
La ley señalaba como infracción todo acto de contaminación ambiental practicado “sin sujetarse a las correspondientes normas técnicas y regulaciones” y dejaba en manos de los Jueces de lo Penal y Comisarios de Sanidad, dependiendo de la gravedad de los hechos, el juzgar y sancionar penal o policialmente a los responsables. Estas acciones penales y de policía requerían que las entidades de control dicten previamente las “normas técnicas y regulaciones” y ejerzan el control de las actividades privadas de acuerdo al artículo 13 de la misma, como paso previo a un enjuiciamiento penal o policial.

why call it a spade if you can call it a digging implement?

disagree AllegroTrans : NO, the distinction here is between Court-ordered and Police-ordered penalties (e.g. Magistrates' Court fines vs. fixed penalty notices in UK)

to punish those responsible with a criminal or police charge

It may be tautology or not, but most police charges are criminal ones. The police are not involved in civil proceedings. Perhaps in the jurisdiction in question, there is a difference between criminal and police charges.
Peer comment(s):

agree AllegroTrans : it's not a tautology because several countries have a whole regime of separate Police charges that don't involve the criminal courts per se
