ÖÇÈØ ÔÑØÉ


Explanation:
In Arabic, the standard expression is DHABIT SHURTA.

If you feel obliged to stick to the wording of the source text closer than that, I would suggest DHABIT FARDH AL-QANOON

ÖÇÈØ ÝÑÖ ÇáÞÇäæä

The sentence would probably have to be edited to help it flow more naturally in Arabic. For example:

íÌÈ Ãä íÔåÏ ÖÇÈØ ãä ÖÈÇØ ÝÑÖ ÇáÞÇäæä Ãä ÇáãÕÇÑíÝ ÖÑæÑíÉ

There are other equally acceptable terms for "certify" and "expenses" that you may prefer.

Explanation:
This is another suggestion:
"Dhabet Tanfeeth Al-Qanoon"
Literally: officer executing the law.

Translation of the whole sentence would be:
íäÈÛí Ãä íÔåÏ (íÕÇÏÞ Úáì - íæËÞ) ÃÍÏ ÖÈÇØ ÊäÝíÐ ÇáÞÇäæä ÈÃä åÐå
ÇáãÕÇÑíÝ (ÇáãÕÑæÝÇÊ) ÖÑæÑíÉ

"Yanbaghi An Yash-had (Yosadeq 'Ala - Youwatheq) Ahada Dhubbat Tanfeeth Al-Qanoon bi-anna hathihi al-masareef (al-masroofat) dharooriyyah"

The terms in brackets are alternatives.

Generic: public safety/security officer


Explanation:
Greetings.

One generic term that appears in some of the Arabian GCC countries is:

Daabit al-amin al-3aam = public security officer (PSO)

ÖÇÈØ ÇáÃãä ÇáÚÇã

Such officers are usually from the national-level security forces (i.e., Ministry of the Interior), rather the police forces of a local municipality.

HTH.
