Illegal Fishing
Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire Police and Environment Enforcement Officers, have been working in partnership to reduce illegal fishing along the River Trent. A typical day sees over 40 rod licenses checked.
The aim of the operation, as well as catching offenders, is to increase the visibility of police officers in rural communities. from the positive response from anglers and the very low number of licence offences have been very encouraging for the team, which is already planning future operations on different stretches of the river and other sites which are popular with anglers.
