CO John Busken has been busy lately meeting with local schools. CO Busken gave a presentation to over twenty sixth grade students. Topics covered included what a conservation officer does, how to prepare for a career in law enforcement and a tour of the officer’s patrol truck. CO Busken also spoke at a hunter’s safety class. Students and parents had questions pertaining to game laws, ORV regulations and motor vehicle laws.
CO Jon Busken was dispatched to a domestic complaint in progress to assist a Mackinac County Sheriff’s Deputy. Three individuals had injuries on scene. Despite conflicting accounts of what occurred, the officers’ investigation pointed to one suspect being the guilty party. The subject was lodged in the Mackinac County Jail.
COs Mike Hammill and Bobby Watson patrolled a local walleye lake this past weekend and noticed the fishing was picking up. Upon contacting one angler, CO Watson observed one walleye that was perhaps a bit undersized. The angler measured the walleye in front of CO Watson hitting the 15” mark on the head. CO Watson explained the proper way to measure a walleye and gave the angler a quick demonstration. The walleye’s true measurement was 14.5”, a verbal warning and a handshake ended the contact with the angler.
