How do I change SELinux to enforcing permanently?

Is it safe to set SELinux to permissive?

What is the difference between SELinux permissive and enforcing?

What is the difference between enforcing and permissive?
Permissive mode, in which permission denials are logged but not enforced. Enforcing mode, in which permissions denials are both logged and enforced.
What happens if SELinux is permissive?
Android includes SELinux in enforcing mode and a corresponding security policy that works by default across AOSP. Per-domain permissive mode enables incremental application of SELinux to an ever-increasing portion of the system and policy development for new services (while keeping the rest of the system enforcing).
What is SELinux permissive mode?

Is there any way to make SELinux always be enforcing?
The ROM, by default, has the SELinux policy set to Permissive instead of Enforcing. I can use adb shell setenforce 1 to make SElinux enforcing. But after reboot, SElinux status still return to Permissive. Is there any way to make SElinux always be Enforcing?
Is there a command to enable or disable SELinux?
When enabled, SELinux has two modes: enforcing and permissive. Use the getenforce or sestatus commands to check in which mode SELinux is running. The getenforce command returns Enforcing, Permissive, or Disabled. The sestatus command returns the SELinux status and the SELinux policy being used:
When does SELinux run in enforcing mode red hat?
