Wildlife Crime Watch is a program dedicated to improving the quality of life for the people and to promote the mission of the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. Wildlife does not belong to any one person or to any one group. In fact wildlife and our environment should be the responsibility of each person regardless of whether the person is a hunter, fisherman or wildlife watcher. The wildlife and the environment are a legacy that can be passed on to future generations. What will that legacy be? With the advent of Wildlife Crime Watch anyone in the community can have an opportunity to put their stamp on what the legacy will be. In addition to caring for wildlife and the environment this program can draw the community together and allow for neighbor to look out for neighbor, in essence, take the initiative to serve their fellow man and themselves. It is citizens and law enforcement working in a partnership.

What follows are a few brochures, informational pamphlets, and other materials to get you started with Wildlife Crime Watching!
