OPERATION CODY- An undercover investigation into WA's commercial poaching

He spent  a short time with NMFS but not sure how that would affect his years of service.

It was only about a year.

What a great gift that would be to the hunters of this state if Cenci decided to retire early!   

[Gamblin Guy]

His ego wont allow him to take an early retirement.....

His ego wont allow him to take an early retirement.....

Like I said, it would have to be a "oh sh*t I'm going to be fired" retirement. Otherwise, he'll be here until he croaks.

[Gamblin Guy]

Depending on the new director, that might just be the case.....

[HntnFsh]

I think it will be the case!

I was thinking about all this today and while I also hate Cenci I can totally see the following taking place:

The legislature/commission finally starts investigating. The commission/agency finds grounds that he can be terminated on and Crown tells Cenci what is about to happen and suddenly Cenci retires. Cenci already has his 20 LE years in and is over 50 so he can begin drawing early retirement. In about two years he'll reach the age where he can get his full benefits.

I just can't see any of them rolling over and calling it quits on their own.  I can only see this happening if or when they see no escape from the hammer coming down.  Time will tell.

I tend to believe they already have grounds to fire him, but have chosen not to do so.  It will take continued pressure - embarrassing,  public pressure - to force their hand. 

Keep it up, UC.  I've written emails, and will send a few more now that you've made it even easier for me with the addresses you listed above.  Subject line - "WDFW Enforcement debacle"

Thanks.  We will take all the help we can get!

As many of you know, on January 14th, I testified about the very serious problems with WDFW enforcement's administration (primarily with Chief Crown and Deputy Chief Cenci), to the Senate Natural Resources Committee.  The hearing was spearheaded by Senators Pearson and Hewitt, who are sincerely concerned about what is going on.  The committee members are continuing to receive input from both sides of the issue, so now is the time to express you thoughts and concerns.  If you want to see change occur, in order to get Washington's Fish and Wildlife officers back on track-catching poachers, then please contact Senators Hewitt and Pearson ASAP and let them know where you stand.  You can email them at:  mike.hewitt@leg.wa.gov and kirk.pearson@leg.wa.gov.

Thanks to all of you for your support!

I sent an email to all of the members of the committee expressing my concerns and desire for them to look into this further and take action to strengthen the emphasis on enforcement and prosecution of violators of big game hunting rules.  I found all of the committee members email addresses in another thread that you had posted them in, the "Petition to Remove WDFW Director Anderson, Chief Crown and Deputy Chief Cenci" thread.

As I predicted over a month ago, Sgt. Dan Chadwick (Deputy Chief Cenci's best friend and neighbor) was just promoted to the region 6 captain position.  Fortunately for Chadwick, WDFW (for the first time ever) dropped the geographic boundary restriction, as Chadwick lives about 60 miles from the Montesano office.

Amazing how that worked out.

That was nice of them to make an exception.  Must be part of the new friendlier WDFW working to build moral amongst employees.
