The CRITFE Team

The CRITFE team consists of patrol officers, dispatchers, and administrative personnel. They maintain a 24-hour effort to enforce all fishing
regulations and protect treaty tribal fishing rights.

CRITFE officers’ duties are similar to those of other conservation officers. We inspect catch, gear, identifications, and sites. This can range from a simple visit to a full investigation using high-tech surveillance equipment.

All CRITFE officers are Oregon-certified and serve as an extension of tribal law enforcement.
