Under which Section is the Sub Divisional Enforcement Officer (SDEO) appointed?

Under Section 22 of the PERA Force Laws, the Sub Divisional Enforcement Officer (SDEO) is officially appointed to oversee the enforcement operations at the sub-divisional level. This position forms a vital link between the Enforcement Stations and the higher administrative structure of the Authority. The SDEO ensures that all enforcement actions within their jurisdiction are carried out in accordance with the PERA Force Laws and under the directives issued by the Director General or the Authority.

The appointment of the SDEO under Section 22 is meant to create localized command and supervision for effective field operations. The SDEO supervises Enforcement Officers, coordinates enforcement drives, monitors compliance with scheduled laws, and reports operational performance to the Authority. By placing this responsibility at the sub-divisional level, the law ensures faster decision-making and accountability in enforcement matters.

Section 22 also gives the Authority flexibility to assign specific powers, duties, and jurisdictions to the SDEO, allowing efficient management of field activities. This legal framework ensures that every enforcement subdivision has a dedicated officer to maintain discipline, address violations promptly, and enhance public confidence in enforcement mechanisms.

Thus, Section 22 of the PERA Force Laws plays a key role in structuring the administrative hierarchy of enforcement by establishing the position of the Sub Divisional Enforcement Officer (SDEO) as an essential authority at the regional level.
