Under the PERA Act, the Sub Divisional Enforcement Officer (BS-16) serves as the custodian of all records of the Enforcement Station. This includes maintaining files, evidence logs, reports, operational documents, and any other administrative records necessary for the proper functioning of the Station.
Being the custodian of records ensures that all documentation is accurate, organized, and secure, which is vital for accountability, transparency, and verification of enforcement actions. Other responsibilities, such as managing vehicles, weapons, financial accounts, or handling rewards and penalties, may involve the officer in coordination but are not classified as the official custodial responsibility under PERA.
By assigning record-keeping duties to the Sub Divisional Enforcement Officer, the Act strengthens administrative efficiency, proper documentation, and operational accountability, ensuring that Enforcement Stations operate smoothly and can provide verifiable information for reviews, audits, or hearings.
