Environmental Crimes Investigation Resources

These documents were prepared by the Central Virginia Environmental Crimes Task Force. The Task Force is comprised of federal, state and local agencies involved in the investigation and prosecution of environmental crimes in Central Virginia. The purpose of these documents is to provide practical information for the investigation of environmental crimes. While this is not a VDEM document, we believe it may assist interested parties in these investigations.
