While I am sure that some readers will enjoy painting that enforcement agency with the broad brush of disaproval, it should be noted that most of the employees in DNR, including the Division of Wildlife, are dedicated and hard working individuals. There are also certainly those that would take advantage of the system, as at most work sites. It appears that there are also short-comings in monitoring officers, but some of it seems to be due to the lack of radio operations staff failing to report officers who do not follow the existing protocol to appropriate supervisory authority. I'm sure that this and other issues will be addressed and these problems corrected. In any case, these actions cannot be tolerated and should be addressed appropriately. I am surprised that these situations have found a venue in the court system rather than simple termination of employment. While it may seem right to see them taken to court for "on-the-job" violations of policies, procedure and work ethic...I wander how that is fiscally responsible due to the high cost of legal prosecution when compared to the relatively minor penalties delt. My opinion is that a quick disciplinary investigation with swift results (up through termination) would be more favorable to us tax-payers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
