What’s in a Name? The Occupational Identity of Conservation and Natural Resource Oriented Law Enforcement Agencies
American Journal of Criminal Justice, 2015Co-Authors: Ryan Patten, Matthew S. Crow, Tara O’connor ShelleyAbstract:This research explores: (1) the occupational identity of fish and wildlife police agencies and (2) considers an emerging concern that these agencies have widened their work priorities to include more traditional law Enforcement. To investigate these issues a content analysis of state level law Enforcement agency websites with a fish and wildlife focus is used to better understand how they self-identify (agency name and job titles), their mission statements, the scope of power sworn officers have (limited to special purpose or inclusive of general law Enforcement powers), and the educational and training requirements to support their stated agency missions. The findings demonstrate fish and wildlife police agencies are engaged in a scope of work that supports a general law Enforcement Role. This study demonstrates many fish and wildlife police agencies and their officers appear to be transitioning Roles into more generalized law Enforcement officers, but this change is not universal.

A focus group study of enteric disease case investigation: successful techniques utilized and barriers experienced from the perspective of expert disease investigators
BMC Public Health, 2014Co-Authors: Dean Middleton, Rachel D Savage, Stephen Moore, Doug SiderAbstract:Background In Ontario, Canada, enteric case investigators perform a number of functions when conducting telephone interviews including providing health education, collecting data for regulatory purposes ultimately to prevent further illness, Enforcement, illness source attribution and outbreak detection. Information collected must be of high quality as it may be used to inform decisions about public health actions that could have significant consequences such as excluding a person from work, recalling a food item that is deemed to be a health hazard, and/or litigations. The purpose of this study was to describe, from the perspectives of expert investigators, barriers experienced and the techniques used to overcome these barriers during investigation of enteric disease cases. Methods Twenty eight expert enteric investigators participated in one of four focus groups via teleconference. Expert investigators were identified based on their ability to 1) consistently obtain high quality data from cases 2) achieve a high rate of completion of case investigation questionnaires, 3) identify the most likely source of the disease-causing agent, and 4) identify any possible links between cases. Qualitative data analysis was used to identify themes pertaining to successful techniques used and barriers experienced in interviewing enteric cases. Results Numerous barriers and strategies were identified under the following categories: case investigation preparation and case communication, establishing rapport, source identification, education to prevent disease transmission, exclusion, and linking cases. Unique challenges experienced by interviewers were how to collect accurate exposure data and educate cases in the face of misconceptions about enteric illness, as well as how to address tensions created by their Enforcement Role. Various strategies were used by interviewers to build rapport and to enhance the quality of data collected. Conclusions To our knowledge, this is the first study to examine the perspectives of expert enteric disease case investigators on successful interview techniques and barriers experienced during enteric case investigation. A number of recommendations could improve the process of enteric case investigation in the Ontario context which include formal training and development of resource materials pertaining to interviewing, standardized interviewing tools, strategies to address cultural and language barriers, and the implementation of the single interviewer approach.
