>Arizona BLM offers rewards
>
>In a move to crack down on criminals abusing the environment, the Bureau of
>Land Management office in Arizona has announced rewards of up to $1,000 for
>information leading to the successful arrest and conviction of people
>caught damaging public lands and natural resources and violating federal
>drug laws on BLM land. The public's help is being sought through a public
>service radio campaign which encourages people to call a toll free number
>to report any suspected illegal activities they may see when out enjoying
>BLM or other publicly managed lands. "Every time someone carves their
>initials into a tree or starts a forest fire or takes an artifact or
>vandalizes a campground, the public looses," explains BLM State Director
>Denise Merideth. "These crimes hurt the environment and the people who
>enjoy the great outdoors. Repairing picnic tables and putting out fires
>costs the taxpayers money. Even worse, some crimes cause damage to our
>natural, biological and cultural resources that can never be repaired." The
>BLM cares for more than 14 million acres of public lands across Arizona.
>Rangers and other law enforcement officers patrol these lands to keep
>visitors safe, as well as to protect the wildlife, streams, plants and
>other resources from being abused. Law enforcement officials warn that
>while they are asking for the public's help, people should never take the
>law into their own hands. "People should not confront a dangerous
>situation," reminds BLM Special Agent Mick Roselle. "Instead, anyone who
>feels they are witnessing a crime in progress, should leave the area
>immediately and go to the nearest phone to call for law enforcement
>assistance." Anyone having information about crimes on BLM lands can call
>the "Crime Stoppers" toll free number at (800)432-6933. For more
>information, contact Tina Gromo, BLM, (602)417-9504.
