Bloomfield Conservation Officer Named District Officer Of The Year

Last updated on Monday, December 14, 2015

(BLOOMFIELD) - District 5 Indiana Conservation Officers have nominated Officer Mike Gregg as District 5 Conservation Officer of the Year. Officer Gregg has been nominated as District 5 Conservation Officer of the Year 8 times in his 28 year career with the IDNR Law Enforcement Division. He was also awarded the coveted James D. Pitzer award in 2002.

Officer Gregg is a member of the Indiana Conservation Officers' Public Safety Scuba Team and was very active in that role in 2015 as he was involved in several underwater recoveries around the state.

Officer Gregg is a very self-motivated and active patrol officer. He is well respected among his peers and other local law enforcement agencies. He is very diverse in his law enforcement activity ranging from fish and wildlife crimes to being instrumental in the search for an 18 year old Marina Boeltner, of Bloomfield.

Officer Gregg is assigned to Greene County and resides there with his wife Shawn.

The Law Enforcement Division consists of ten districts statewide along with the Investigation Section. Every year, each district and section selects a district "Officer of the Year" by vote of their fellow officers. Each officer chosen is then eligible for the state "Officer of the Year" to be selected by the director of the Law Enforcement Division and the director of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.

The officer chosen will then receive the "Pitzer Award". This award was named after Indiana Conservation Officer James D. Pitzer who was shot and killed in the line of duty.
