UNIT
The ATV Patrol Unit was developed and implemented
in April 2001 in response to problems identified
through community input and analysis of calls
for service regarding trespassing of recreational
vehicles and damage to agricultural property.
All terrain vehicles enable officers to patrol
agricultural areas, conservation land, undeveloped
land and respond to emergencies in areas that
are inaccessible by other vehicles. |
 |
The unit consists of six officers.
Each officer has attended a rigorous training
program established by the Massachusetts
Criminal Justice Training Council.
The training program addresses operation
and safety of the ATV, recreational vehicle
laws and officer safety tactics.
Sergeant
Joseph Yakavonis is responsible for
the deployment of the unit. The unit
deploys two officers, each on a 2001 Polaris
Sportsman 500 H.O. all terrain vehicle.
The ATVs are equipped with first-aid and
rescue equipment. While patrolling,
officers aggressively enforce recreational
vehicle and trespassing laws. For
more information about the ATV Patrol Unit,
contact Sergeant
Joseph Yakavonis. For information

Mass Environmental Police web site here.
