DESCRIPTION: These records are created by law enforcement officers of the Division of Wildlife Resources under the authority of UCA 23-20-17 (1990) for the purpose of enforcing hunting and fishing laws and monitoring illegal activities involving wildlife by unauthorized citizens. Any violation of the Wildlife Code is a class A or class B misdemeanor as stated in UCA 23-20-(3-4) (1990) and UCA 23-13-11 (1990) respectively. The citations are used for litigation support, criminal prosecution, recording seizure of property, and justification for license revocations. Information includes date and place of violation, name of individual(s) involved, and a list of equipment seized. The citations consist of five copies.__The pink copy goes to the individual, the gold copy (this record series) goes to the officer, the yellow copy goes to the regional office (record series #4551), the white copy goes to the court, and the green copy (record copy), on which the final disposition is recorded by the court, goes to this (the Salt Lake) office (record series #4380). Since the Salt Lake office is also a region office they maintain their own yellow copies in a separate file for better administrative efficiency.
