Environmental Enforcement definition

Environmental Enforcement. Education: The Academy will use the funds on an annual basis to provide continuing enforcement education at the Academy for cadets, U.S. Coast Guard personnel and other state and federal law enforcement officials responsible for the enforcement of environmental laws. This continuing education will include at least a lecture and/or conference that will focus in on the legal and policy considerations raised by the use of criminal sanctions for violations of environmental laws. Among the topics addressed in these lectures and conferences will be: the role of the United States Coast Guard in criminal enforcement in the regulatory regime; the elements of the major federal environmental crimes, the factors that influence investigators and prosecutors in choosing which cases to investigate and charge, grand jury and other investigative approaches, parallel civil and criminal actions, the criminal liability of corporate officers, sentencing issues for individuals and organizations; EOUSA 1359 policy issues related to environmental criminal cases and recent developments in the criminal enforcement of environmental law. Initially, the funds will be provided to the ex1stmg Institute for Leadership as an Endowed Chair in Environmental Studies. As more funds becomes available from other sources, the Academy intends to create an Institute for Engineering and Technology, which Chair will reside within this Institute/Center for perpetuity. Once the amount for the endowment at issue rises to the 2.5 million dollar (U.S.) level, the intention will be to hire a full time "Chair of Environmental Studies."
