Under the PERA Force Laws, Enforcement Officers are empowered to maintain law and order, investigate offenses, arrest offenders, collect evidence electronically, and impose fines within the limits prescribed by the law. However, Enforcement Officers do not have legislative powers, which means they cannot pass provincial laws or create legal statutes. The power to make or amend laws lies exclusively with the provincial or federal legislative bodies. This distinction ensures the proper separation of powers between law enforcement and lawmaking authorities. By clearly defining what an Enforcement Officer can and cannot do, the PERA Force Laws maintain accountability, prevent abuse of authority, and strengthen the enforcement framework. Section references of the PERA Force Laws explicitly outline these limitations, emphasizing that passing provincial laws is outside the scope of an Enforcement Officer’s duties.
