In the United Kingdom a Fire Safety Inspector (also known as Fire Officer or Fire Safety Officer) is a public law enforcement officer responsible for the enforcement fire safety legislation in the United Kingdom. As Public Law Enforcement officers, Fire Inspectors are duty bound, by law, to enforce fire safety legislation in the name of the Chief Fire Officer and the Chair of the Fire Rescue Authority of the Fire & Rescue Authority they are employed by, for the protection of members of the general public. In turn the Chief Fire Officer discharges power of authority by order of a Secretary of State (In England and Wales) or their equivalent in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Fire Inspectors, like any other major enforcing officers from other enforcing authorities, have the same powers of authority of that of a police constable except that they cannot arrest persons. They can not, except in the event of fire or emergency, make forceable entry, unless first obtaining a warrant. A police officer cannot gain forceable entry into a premises unless in pursuit (chasing) a criminal or suspected criminal. There are three distinct sets of legislation covering all four countries within the United Kingdom. They are:- * The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 & Fire & Rescue Services Act 2004 (England & Wales) * The Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (Scotland) * The Fire and Rescue Services (NI) Order 2006 (Northern Ireland) ==Powers== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fire safety inspector」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
