Wildlife crime
Sussex Police currently has a number of Wildlife Crime Officers
(WCOs) working across Sussex, all of whom perform the role
alongside their day-to-day policing duties.
Wildlife crime includes the persecution of protected native
species of flora and fauna, the illegal snaring, trapping or
killing of protected mammals, damage to the geophysical features of
protected land, and the international trade in endangered
species.
We rely on the assistance of the public to enable us to
detect offences and prosecute offenders. Report things that
make you suspicious.
The Wildlife Crime team would love to hear from anyone who has
any information about wildlife criminality in the area.
Please contact them on 101 or email wcu@sussex.pnn.police.uk.
If a crime is currently taking place always dial
999.
