The job of the police is to bring offenders to court, not to punish them. It is the job of the court to determine guilt and, if guilt is proved, to sentence the offender to punishment. In deciding the sentence, the court will look at past offences and in the case of a persistent offender the sentence will be more severe. In some countries (eg the US) if an offender commits 3 offences the sentence can be life imprisonment.
