Brief Program Description:
The NOAA Enforcement Program consists primarily of services delivered
through the NOAA Fisheries Office for Law Enforcement (OLE). NOAA’s
OLE is a professional, accredited law enforcement agency. OLE provides
law enforcement services directed to obtain compliance with management
regimes instituted by NOAA in support of its stewardship responsibilities
for living marine resource. Services are provided through three
capabilities; Investigations, Patrol and Inspections (monitoring),
and Outreach and Education. In addition to these three capabilities
the use of technology to enhance capabilities is central to the
objectives of the office. Together, these four approaches to the
provision of services have been commonly referred to within the
OLE as “the four pillars” of the Enforcement mission.
The “pillars” represent the collective philosophy our
law enforcement mission.
