Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries

The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries is another agency which works in conjunction with the Sheriff's Office. 
Officers in this division of Law Enforcement are referred to as Conservation Police Officers (CPO) and have full law enforcement powers.
They deal with issues with hunting, fishing and boating. The CPO for our local area is out of the Region 4 office and he is responsible for four counties including the City of Charlottesville at any given time. 
To contact a CPO call their region office at (540) 248-9360. 
To report violations please call 1(800) 237-5712 or email them at wildcrime@dgif.virginia.gov.
