VAPBA Natural Resources Police Chapter Update

June 19, 2013

On June 13th, we held a Conservation Police Chapter meeting in Williamsburg. Thanks again to George Wilson for setting up an excellent location. Among those in attendance were five of our new members from the Virginia Marine Resources Commission. Due to their interest and attendance we spent the majority of the meeting familiarizing them with our chapter and the PBA. I provided a brief history of our chapter's evolution and activities over the past couple years and we discussed some of the issues we have faced as well as the direction we are planning to go with our chapter.
