Turn in Poachers / Polluters (TIP Line)

1-800-661-0525

What kinds of activities should I report to the TIP Line?

• hunting or fishing out of season
• exceeding the bag limits
• illegal sale of fish or wildlife
• deposit of harmful substances in lakes and streams, and on the ground
• littering

What should I do if I see a suspected violation or know of one?
Contact your local Conservation Officer Services office, or call 1-800-661-0525 as soon as possible. Trained staff will take your call, record the information you supply and immediately pass it on to the nearest available Conservation Officer/Environmental Protection Officer.

You should try to observe and record the following details:

• date, time and location of activity
• exact location
• vehicle licence number
• vehicle description
• description of persons involved
• details of the violation

Never approach or attempt to apprehend a suspect!

The TIP Line operates 24-hours a day, seven days a week.

Do I have to identify myself?

No. Anyone who calls the TIP line (1-800-661-0525) or provides information to a Conservation Officer/Environmental Protection Officer or district clerical staff may remain anonymous. A unique identification number will be assigned to you when your call is taken. This number will be used to identify you in any future communications.

How do I qualify for a reward?

If the information you provide concerns a resource violation and results in the laying of a charge by a Conservation Officer, you are automatically eligible for a reward. The person taking your call will provide you with the details of the procedure.

Who supplies the reward money?

The Yukon Fish and Game Association has a Rewards Committee which oversees the handling of the Reward Fund.
