Under Section 15, who conducts performance reviews of Enforcement Stations?

According to Section 15 of the PERA Force Laws, the authority to conduct performance reviews of Enforcement Stations is vested in the Chairperson of the Board. This section makes it clear that performance evaluations are not to be handled by the Board collectively, nor by other officers such as the Secretary or District Attorney. Instead, the Chairperson holds the direct responsibility, ensuring accountability and proper monitoring of all Enforcement Stations.

The rationale behind this provision is to establish a centralized leadership role for oversight. By assigning this function to the Chairperson, the law guarantees that reviews are conducted with authority, impartiality, and continuity. This arrangement reduces bureaucratic delays that might occur if reviews were dependent on collective decision-making by the Board or other officials.

The Chairperson’s performance review process includes examining station efficiency, compliance with operational standards, adherence to PERA directives, and identifying areas for improvement. The purpose is not only to monitor but also to guide enforcement units in maintaining discipline, transparency, and effectiveness.
