	MISSION STATEMENT:
	"To serve, protect, educate, and assist the public in its outdoor recreational endeavors."
	"To be a vigilant guardian of the natural resources on behalf of the citizens of the State of Illinois."
	"To encourage the wise use of our natural resources and to insure no harm to public safety, or to the environment, in this pursuit."
	"To educate the inadvertent violator of Conservation Law and to take the appropriate level of enforcement action to achieve this goal."
	"To relentlessly pursue the unrepentant offender and bring him before the court for judgment."
	"To conduct our personal outdoor recreational activities in an exemplary manner, above reproach, and serve as a role model of outdoor ethics to our peers and to the general public."
	"This we pledge to the citizens of Illinois."

The Office of Law Enforcement supports the Department's programs designed to protect Illinois' natural and recreational resources through enforcement of those portions of the Illinois Compiled Statutes enacted for that purpose. Conservation Police Officers are vested with full state-wide police authority and are trained to the highest standards for law enforcement professionals in Illinois.

In addition to these enforcement responsibilities, Conservation Police Officers serve as an important link between the Department and its various constituencies (civic groups, sportsmen's groups, sport shows, etc.). These officers are called upon to assist outside agencies in emergency situations or rescue operations. They participate in the instruction of conservation related statutes to outside agencies, law enforcement organizations, or educational institutions upon request.
