Wildlife law enforcement is important Aggressive enforcement of wildlife laws is critical to the "health and well-being" well-being" of Utah wildlife, says Division of Wildlife Resources law enforcement specialist Bruce Johnson. Johnson, a ten-year veteran with the Division, says the state agency's law enforcement enforce-ment program has grown dramatically dramatical-ly in scope and effectiveness since he's been involved with it. Johnson says the "Poaching Hotline" program, begun three years ago, has become one of the most effective effec-tive aspects of the state's wildlife law enforcement effort. The hotline (1-800-662-3337) is a 24-hour toll free telephone number which anyone can call to report wildlife violations. The phone is staffed around the clock, offering of-fering concerned citizens an opportunity oppor-tunity to report first hand information to a law enforcement officer. Although rewards are offered to people who provide pro-vide information leading to convictions convic-tions of wildlife offenders, most callers simply want to report incidents of poaching or other violations because of their concern for the animals. According to Johnson, 111 arrests were made as a direct result of hotline calls. He says none of the arrests could have been made without the hotline program. Many of the arrests resulted in convictions for Class A misdea-meanors, misdea-meanors, cases which often require offenders of-fenders to pay hefty fines, relinquish hunting and fishing privileges, and give up equipment used in the crime such as fishing poles, rifles and, on occasion, oc-casion, even vehicles. The hotline, which costs the state $150 a month to operate, has more than paid for itself in its three years of operation. Johnson says the program, the most successful deterrant to wildlife crime in Utah today, is here 10 stay. . - si A 11 4 V Hi8n Series V I I "-"- Ed Achord sr7 - DaveGoepfert ' Jjt . X l .
