How all of this fits into the bigger picture of the fight against Rural Crime will be provided by the National Wildlife Crime Unit”
Sessions will be delivered on:
• Angling law
• The role of the club bailiff
• Conflict resolution
• Intelligence-led fisheries enforcement

The course will be delivered by experienced enforcement and fishery practitioners.
