Wildlife Enforcer of the Year

The dedication of a Lincolnshire Police officer has seen him named Wildlife Enforcer of the Year.

DC Aaron Flint has been investigating wildlife crime for over 20 years and the award recognises his determination and tenacity in targeting offences within Lincolnshire covering a broad spectrum of wildlife offences.

Aaron was announced the winner of the award last week at the National Wildlife Crime Conference which is hosted by the National Wildlife Crime Unit.
Aaron is the Force’s dedicated Wildlife Crime Officer and works within the Rural Crime Action Team (RCAT). He completes detailed investigations into wildlife crime and advises the force on all wildlife related matters. 

Chief Constable Paul Gibson said: “I am incredibly proud of DC Flint and pass on both my own personal congratulations and those of his colleagues in the force for winning the Wildlife Enforcer of the Year award.

“Aaron is an incredible officer dedicated to the conservation and preservation of wildlife.

“Wildlife crime takes place across all of our beautiful county; rural crime affects our farming and rural communities and Aaron through his dedication and passion is a great ambassador for both promoting the extensive work to keep people safe but also in his endeavours to investigate some of the more complex area of wildlife crime.

“We are all incredibly proud of him.”
