Connecticut’s Environmental Conservation Police — known as EnCon — are sworn law enforcement officers with full police authority, though their jurisdiction is uniquely tied to the state’s natural resources. EnCon prioritizes enforcing Connecticut’s fish and wildlife laws, hunting and trapping regulations, boating statutes, and environmental protection codes across public and private lands throughout the state. EnCon officers are empowered to investigate environmental crimes, respond to wildlife incidents, and hold accountable those who would exploit or damage the habitats and species that make Connecticut’s outdoors worth preserving. Tonight, EnCon officer Elise Bouthillier will share a bit about EnCon with LHAS members and guests. Elise holds two bachelor’s degrees from the University of Connecticut in wildlife management and animal science, and currently teaches conservation law enforcement at UConn, where she works to prepare the next generation of conservationists, whether in law enforcement or elsewhere.
NOTE: The meetings will be in person and on Zoom, unless otherwise indicated.
