Wizarding laws enforcement from "summary" of Harry Potter by J. K. Rowling
Wizarding law enforcement is a topic where magical creatures, such as wizards and witches, are responsible for enforcing laws and helping to maintain order. They use their powers and knowledge of the magical world to help protect their communities and punish those who break the law.- Magic-using law enforcement personnel enforce the rules established by Ministry of Magic. They are generally organised into branches which patrol different areas of magical society and uphold the law.
- To track criminals and suspicious activities, magical police stations employ enchanted items such as undetectable extension charms and trace spells.
- Imprisonment is one punishment used by magical law enforcement, though more serious offenders may be sent to Azkaban prison, where Dementors are kept to extract information from inmates.
- No distraction or subterfuge can hide a rogue wizard from magical law enforcement; they possess devices keenly attuned to detect magical activity in its vicinity.
