There is a new look to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations enforcement folk.
The 169 officers will now be known as Natural Resource Officers, and they have expanded the range of issues they can enforce under natural resource legislation. In the past, the “Compliance and Enforcement Officers” could only deal with certain acts they were specifically designated to uphold. As Natural Resource Officers, they will be able to enforce a broader range of statutes which should shorten response time and improve their effectiveness in the field. Jun 02, 2012 Opinion 250 News
