Track enforcement procedures to protect the public

To protect the public, your agency must enforce regulations in a consistent and timely manner. But what if your agency lacks documentation on how to execute enforcement processes? When your agency fails to enforce requirements and statutes correctly, unqualified businesses might continue to operate, placing the public at risk.

Your agency needs software that gives you the tools to perform enforcement functions effectively and efficiently.

Consequences of insufficient enforcement processes:

• Agency fails to enforce requirements correctly.
• Enforcement cases slip through the cracks.
• Public exposed to harm.
• Process exposes agency to liability.
• Agency faces negative press.

Tracking enforcement procedures protects the public

​​Software that offers enforcement functions supports your agency’s ability to enforce regulations. You need software that enables your agency to track, manage and schedule the group of people involved in an enforcement action.

Typically, enforcement cases result from a failed inspection or investigation, or from an incoming public complaint. The right software allows agencies to link the enforcement with related inspections and investigations, and directly with respondents and complainants stored and tracked in the system. This ensures a clear and accurate historical picture for the agency. Software with an enforcement component tracks all items related to the enforcement, allowing an agency to easily track every item to completion.

Benefits of tracking enforcement processes

• Agency enforces requirements accurately.
• Enforcement occurs on time.
• Agency protects the public.
• Agency protected from potential liability.
• Agency avoids negative press.
