Under which Section are the duties of an Enforcement Officer defined?

Under Section 25 of the PERA Force Laws, the duties of an Enforcement Officer are clearly outlined to provide structure, accountability, and uniformity in enforcement activities. This section serves as a comprehensive legal guide that defines what an Enforcement Officer must do while carrying out his or her official responsibilities under the Authority.

The primary duties defined in Section 25 include enforcing the scheduled laws, ensuring compliance with regulatory provisions, conducting inspections, identifying violations, and taking necessary legal action against offenders. Enforcement Officers are also responsible for preparing official reports, maintaining records, and coordinating with the Sub Divisional Enforcement Officer (SDEO) and the Director General to ensure smooth enforcement operations.

In addition to routine field duties, Section 25 empowers Enforcement Officers to act within the legal boundaries prescribed by the Authority, ensuring that every enforcement action is lawful, proportionate, and justified. This section safeguards against misuse of power by establishing a transparent chain of command and reporting obligations.

By clearly defining these roles, Section 25 of the PERA Force Laws ensures that Enforcement Officers operate with discipline, professionalism, and integrity. It also enhances the effectiveness of the enforcement system by setting a legal standard for operational conduct and accountability across all enforcement divisions.
