Chief Logan State Park Lodge
will host 40 wildlife officers from 16 states this week for 40 hours of specialized,
hunting-related shooting incident investigation training.
The Hunting Incident Academy
will take place from September 16-20 at Chief Logan State Park Lodge with nine
instructors from seven states. The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources
Law Enforcement Section and the International Hunter Education Association have
partnered to host the event.
According to information from
the WVDNR, the academy is the only one of its kind and provides skills,
knowledge, techniques and confidence to state and federal wildlife officers to
investigate hunting-related incidents. The focus is on the proper collection,
documentation and analysis of data following an incident.
"The academy is designed to
train commissioned wildlife officers on how to properly investigate and
document hunting related shooting incidents," Lt. Tim Coleman, state training
officer for the WVDNR, said in a news release. "State Hunter Education
administrators then review and analyze the collected data.
"What they learn is applied
to classroom and media outreach efforts to aid in the prevention of hunting
incidents."
Coleman said having the academy at Chief Logan State Park
will provide both indoor and outdoor classrooms.
