Yes you can call the local PD. They may or may not respond. They are not familiar with the fishing regulations and are usually reluctant to do anything about F&G violations. If they run across a hunting violation they will hold the subject and call us, but for fishing violations I haven't seen that happen too many times.

The mission of the local PD is public safety and crime prevention for their town/city, not enforcing fish & game laws, that's our job. Granted we are short handed, but it's still our job. We have statutory authority to enforce motor vehicle laws and if we see a serious violation we will take enforcement action, but we prefer to leave that to the state and local police.

You can try calling the local PD to report a violation if you like.
