Poaching and fish theft are naturally of great concern to anglers - prompting former Angling Trust Chairman Mike Heylin to envision the Voluntary Bailiff Service: carefully selected and trained volunteers supporting the work of Environment Agency Fishery Enforcement Officers.
Volunteering to help make a positive difference has always been a strong theme of British life - and Mike drew his inspiration from the volunteers of the Special Constabulary, who have provided the British police service with essential support for many years. Mike also knew that anglers are angling's greatest resource - possessed of immense local knowledge and out on the banks daily - and was confident that there would be enough volunteers to make the proposed service a reality.
