You could also call this:

"Explaining what an enforcement officer does to make sure people follow the rules about trade marks"

An enforcement officer has three main jobs to help make sure people follow the Trade Marks Act 2002. First, you need to collect information about anyone who might be breaking this law. Second, you have to look into cases where someone might have broken the law. Third, you must tell the chief executive about anything important that relates to your work as an enforcement officer. You should try your best to do these jobs as much as you can to help people obey the law.
