DEEP and local agencies are working to contain several active fires across the state. Please avoid all affected State Parks and Forests, as well as the blue-blazed Mattabesett Trail. The Enduro Trail in Voluntown and portions of North Stonington within the Pachaug State Forest are closed at this time. Please note that today's forest fire danger report remains at an 'extreme' level. More information about the current fire danger, burn ban and recommended safety measures can be found here

State Environmental Conservation Police

Who We Are

The Connecticut Environmental Conservation Police is comprised of Conservation Officers stationed throughout Connecticut. All EnCon Police are certified as police officers by the Connecticut Police Officer Standards and Training Council. Conservation Officers are required to complete the same police academy training as all municipal police officers in Connecticut and maintain this certification through ongoing in-service training. Due to the complexities of the job, Conservation Officers routinely receive specialized training above and beyond that of municipal police officers in areas related to the EnCon Police missions. In addition to their state authority, Conservation Officers are also appointed as special deputy agents for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries Service so they may enforce federal fisheries and wildlife laws.

The State Environmental Conservation Police are under the command of Colonel Chris Lewis.  There are three districts, East, West and Marine, in addition to the Hartford Headquarters Command Staff. 

The Hartford Headquarters Command Staff is responsible for overall command and administrative functions such as personnel, equipment procurement, purchasing, training, policies and procedures and coordination with other DEEP Divisions and other State and Federal law enforcement agencies.
