Hunter Education as A Public Safety Education Tool
Sgt. David Dotson, Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries
Hunter Education has proven to be an effective tool for public safety education. In addition, it has encouraged many people to purchase hunting licenses, improving the funding base for law enforcement and wildlife management activities. |

Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries Complementary Work Force Program
Susan Alger, Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries
Across North America, natural resource management agencies are facing the same issues of flat or falling revenue sources, rising personnel and operating costs, and difficulty finding qualified applicants willing to work for less than competitive salary levels. We are all seeking new ways to do more with less. |

Employee Turnover; "Using Life Experiences as a Model to Recruit for Retention"
Jack Daugherty, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission
This study has examined the relationship between personnel hired and personnel who resigned during the first five years of employment. The examination was specifically related to age, marital status, and the number of dependants, military experience and educational level. Taking a look at the life experiences of potential officers before recruiting may help ease the crisis of employee turnover. |

Applying Community Oriented Policing to the Conservation Law Enforcement Profession
Richard M. Moore, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission
Conservation law enforcement agencies are challenged by the fact that traditional constituents (people who hunt, fish and boat) are generally a declining segment of the population. Since Community Oriented Policing (COP) has proven effective, in part, at expanding public relationships, it is important to determine if COP principles could benefit the conservation law enforcement profession. |

The Use of GPS in Conservation Law Enforcement
Captain Audie Nelson, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department – Law Enforcement Division
Geographical Positioning Systems (GPS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology has changed the way conservation officers are doing business. Texas game wardens first saw extended use of GPS units when assisting with the Space Shuttle Columbia emergency response. GPS and GIS are now part of terrorist response plans, disaster efforts, mapping hunting and fishing camps, producing accurate maps of crime scenes, along with rescue and recovery by land or boat. This presentation will cover some of the equipment and techniques used by officers in their duties throughout the year. |
