Planetary Enforcers often mimic the Arbites in appearance, but their local ties and often less rigorous standards mean that they are far more susceptible to corruption. Unlike the mighty Arbitrators, most Enforcers, or whatever other local title they use, hold little loyalty to the law itself or to the tradition of service (although there are notable exceptions to this).
Instead, they function as the iron hand of the planetary governor's rule at best and are at worst little more than hired thugs with some degree of official sanction - loyal only to their paymaster and eminently venial and corruptible. In most cases, the Adeptus Arbites and the Inquisition view Enforcer cadres with some suspicion, if not outright distrust, concerning their competence, loyalty and professionalism, often with good reason.
