Some police sport firearms, others utilize canine companions. In Indonesia, police use iodine titration kits to enforce the mandatory salt iodization statute, as headlined in a UNICEF news release.

The UNICEF release reminds:

"Iodine deficiency is the primary cause of preventable mental retardation and brain damage, having the most devastating impact on the brain of the developing foetus and young children in the first few years of life. Iodine deficiency also increases the chance of infant mortality, miscarriage and stillbirth.
...

"At the beginning of its operation, in 2006, the team confiscated non-iodized salt from vendors in the market and replaced it with iodized salt. Vendors were also warned that the penalty for selling non-iodized salt can amount to $5,000 in fines or up to three years in detention.

"This approach led the district’s vendors to procure and sell only iodized salt in Rembang’s markets.

"The task force also provided technical assistance to Rembang’s salt producers and conducted regular testing of iodized salt at the points of production – thus ensuring that producers were following local laws.

"Mr. Sunandar says he enjoys his job because he knows that iodized salt is necessary for the health and development of Rembang’s future generations. He has even travelled to other provinces to advise local authorities on salt iodization law enforcement. "
