What must an Investigation Officer do when seizing an item?

According to the PERA Force Laws, when an Investigation Officer seizes any item, it is mandatory to list the item in the official register and issue a receipt to the person from whom the item was seized. This procedure ensures transparency, accountability, and legal validity of the seizure. Simply keeping the item, reporting it to the police, or submitting it directly to the Board does not comply with the legal requirements. The register serves as an official record of the seizure, while the receipt provides proof to the individual, safeguarding their rights. By following this process, Investigation Officers maintain proper documentation, prevent disputes, and ensure that all enforcement actions are traceable under the law. This step is essential for upholding the integrity and credibility of the enforcement process outlined in the PERA Force Laws.
