Conservation-based organization, Shikar-Safari Club International, honored a Springfield area
Oregon State Police (OSP) Fish & Wildlife Division trooper today as the State's top wildlife enforcement officer for 2014. The award was presented in Salem during the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission meeting.
On August 7, 2015, Shikar-Safari Club International representative Lynn Loacker presented
Senior Trooper Martin Maher with the Shikar-Safari Club International "Wildlife Officer of the
Year" award, placing him in a distinguished group of officers who have earned recognition for
their commitment to fish and wildlife enforcement and protection of natural resources. The
award has been given annually for more than 25 years to honor outstanding wildlife
enforcement officers whose efforts during the previous year reflected outstanding performance
and achievement among the state agency's sworn fish and wildlife law enforcement personnel.
In presenting the award, Lynn Loacker noted that wildlife enforcement officers rarely receive the recognition and encouragement they so greatly deserve for protecting our wildlife and natural resources.
"We congratulate Senior Trooper Maher on being selected for our Shikar-Safari Club
International's "Wildlife Officer of the Year" award. This award puts him in a very distinguished group who has earned this recognition for their outstanding performance and dedication to duty," said Loacker.
Senior Trooper Martin Maher has been a member of the OSP for almost 16 years, having spent 6 years in the Patrol Division and just shy of the last 10 years assigned to the Fish and Wildlife Division. He is well respected by his fellow teammates and is a go to person for expertise in all areas of fish and wildlife enforcement. Senior Trooper Martin Maher is responsible for southern Lane County and part of northern Douglas County, but routinely assists in other areas when needed. He diligently patrols his area and works closely with landowners, constituents and local Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife biologists. He is often relied upon by members of the Patrol and Criminal Divisions when calls for service are requested in some of the remote locations within his area of responsibility.
Known for being a very well rounded trooper and passionate about Oregon's natural resources and marine safety, Senior Trooper Martin Maher shares his knowledge and mentors both younger and more experienced members. He has helped coached Fish and Wildlife Troopers on his team and also actively participates in training new recruits and college students about fish and wildlife enforcement.
The OSP also congratulates Senior Trooper Martin Maher on receiving this distinguished award and recently presented Sr. Tpr. Maher with the OSP Fish & Wildlife Division's 2014 "Trooper of the Year" award.
The Shikar-Safari Club International, formed in 1952, is a worldwide organization dedicated to the protection, enhancement and preservation of wildlife and has placed particular emphasis on endangered and threatened species through the promotion of enforcement of conservation laws and
regulations.
