I had a few questions once and I found this on the MDNR website. http://mich.gov/dnr/0,4570,7-153-42199-236857--,00.html

At the bottom you can contact a recruiter for any region (or all regions).

Also, dead short is a CO that frequents the forums. Check the law section or the deer hunting section for him.

 

Dead short is the resident C.O., before that it was Boehr (now retired) and he is also still around also.

 

What are your questions?

 

Hey boehr, this may be sorta off topic, but just wondering. Does a CO have as much legal authority as a State Trooper? In other words, are they capable of writing say, a speeding ticket in your car? Just a random thought.

Did you get caught racing your golf cart into the boat ramp or marina again? :16suspect :Modified_ :lol:

Definitely

 

No I didn't get caught, getting caught being the operative word here.:lol: No, just one of my weird random thoughts, I thought that was the way it is, but just wasn't real positive, if you know what I mean. Tell ya what, I'm not the type of person who would be a LEO, but I think if I were, I would probably opt for being a regular police officer, rather than being a CO. The way I see it, if I'm a CO, the amount of people I pull over for one thing or another, that have guns for sure, is far greater than the officer who pulls someone over. Sure those folks MAY have guns, but man, in the hunting season, you KNOW they have guns. I'll give the CO's a ton of credit, they have to have some brass ones, if you know what I mean.

Yes, same authority, just like a trooper can write a ticket for fishing without a license a CO can write you a ticket for speeding or expired license plate etc. The difference is that CO's attempt to concentrate on natural resources violations while troops and deputies lean towards general criminal laws, traffic, robery etc. But many times each side will enforce what is not in their priorities for a number of different reasons.
