Environmental Police Officers who work in the seven inland regions are responsible
for enforcing a wide variety of laws and regulations. Enforcement of the statutes
regarding hunting, fishing, trapping, boating, and ATVs take up much of the
officers' work time. Inland officers also investigate cases of illegal waste
disposal, wetlands violations, and assist in search and rescue efforts. Personnel
patrol in cruisers, four-wheel-drive vehicles, boats, off-road vehicles, on
foot, and in airplanes and helicopters when necessary. Inland officers pay
particular attention to state forests, parks, wildlife management areas, boat
access sites and heavily-used public waterways such as major rivers and great
ponds. |
