N.A.W.E.O.A. is an 8000 member organization of
Wildlife and Fisheries enforcement officers from
across North America. The association began at
a meeting of 16 Wildlife Officers from the U.S.
and Canada in Great Falls, Montana in 1980.
Other associations for wildlife officers existed,
however, this was the first to actively solicit
membership from all officers in North America.
What can N.A.W.E.O.A. do for you?
N.A.W.E.O.A. as a group of dedicated wildlife
law enforcement professionals is committed to
wildlife protection and to the public we serve.
N.A.W.E.O.A. supports the activities of many
major conservation organizations through
membership and active participation.
If you are a Fish and Wildlife Officer, you can be
part of the N.A.W.E.O.A. team today by
becoming a member. Let us share the benefits
of membership with you!
If you are a Natural Resource Program
Administrator, you can improve your program by
sending your officers to N.A.W.E.O.A.
conferences and training programs, or let us
help you in hosting one yourself.

WESTERN DISTRICT
Narcotics Arrest
On 3/5/08, EnCon Police Officer Steve Stanko was conducting a patrol check at the Derby Dam fishing access area. Officer Stanko observed a subject in a red Chevrolet pick up truck in the parking area. The vehicle had no front license plate and a check of the license plate on the rear of the vehicle, determined that the plate belonged on a black colored Toyota 4X4 pickup truck. Upon speaking to the subject about the registration mismatch he immediately admitted that his truck was not registered and that he "borrowed the plate from a friend". The driver's window was open fully and Officer Stanko observed a thin wooden stick with one end covered in ashes. Officer Stanko recognized the stick as an implement used by crack cocaine users to clean their crack pipes. When Officer Stanko asked the subject if he was engaged in smoking crack cocaine he then readily admitted to using the drug in his vehicle. The subject was detained and handcuffed. A search of his vehicle revealed approximately 1 gram of crack cocaine, four glass crack pipes, four metal screens with residue of cocaine and the wooden poker stick. The subject was arrested for Possession of Crack Cocaine, Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Operating an Unregistered Motor Vehicle, Misuse of Plates and Operating without Minimum Mandatory Insurance.
