1.1.4   Utilities and Environment Police, Ministry of Interior 

The Unit is a division of the Ministry of Interior. Also, it is the designated body for 

enforcing Law No. 4 for the Environment in the Red Sea area. One of its main 

responsibilities is to provide Red Sea rangers with the needed legal authority and power to 

implement the Law on land.  

However, its role in supporting Red Sea rangers is limited, because most of rangers  

activities are done at sea in areas that rest in the Army s jurisdiction.      

Coordination between the Utilities and Environmental Police Unit and Red Sea 

rangers is considered excellent. Essential to the Protectorate's mission is effective 

communication and coordination with other relevant agencies and authorities. 

Coordination actions could be summarized as follows: 

Provide the rangers with the required authorized personnel to enforce the environment 

law at civil areas. 

Approach the necessary legal actions against law violators and present them to courts.     

Enforcing environmental procedures for private sector activities as communicated to the 

Unit by Red Sea rangers.          

Areas for Improvement: 

Implement workshops for homogenous groups to present and discuss environment law 

and its enforcements. 

Expedite the implementation of the incentive system as stipulated by EEAA.
