Volunteer Bailiff Service
The Voluntary Bailiff Service is an increasingly important partnership between the Angling Trust and Environment Agency, empowering anglers and rural communities to support the police and Environment Agency in fighting back against fisheries crime and protecting fish and fisheries.
The VBS initiative continues to be enormously successful, driving forward positive change so therefore, the Voluntary Bailiff Service is a unique opportunity for freshwater anglers and rural volunteers in England to positively contribute towards supporting the Environment Agency and police in protecting fish and fisheries.
Due to health and safety considerations, the volunteers are not expected to approach anglers on the bank – but report what they see and hear. It emphasises how vitally important reporting is and calls should be made to the 24-hour Environment Agency incident hotline 0800 80 70 60.
