Blairsville, Georgia (July 26, 2021) -- International Wildlife Crimestoppers, Inc. is comprised of game wardens and conservation officers across the country and Canada, focused on the war against poaching. IWC is proud to be able to honor a game warden that has made a distinct difference in people's lives and for conserving our natural resources.

This year, IWC established the IWC Game Warden of the Year Award to recognize the accomplishments and deeds of individual Game Wardens across the United States and Canada.

After receiving outstanding nominations, New Jersey Conservation Police Officer Todd Vazquez was chosen as the 2021 IWC Game Warden of the year. Officer Vazquez was nominated by Captain Anne Quirk for his apprehension of a poacher upon receiving a call from the New Jersey Operation Game Thief tip-line. After extensive investigation, the case was brought before the court and the defendant was assessed a civil penalty of $8,112.00.

As part of Officer Vazquez’s award, IWC and Guidefitter have teamed up and given his $1,000 for the exclusive purchase of outdoor gear with Guidefitter.

Guidefitter is proud to be a continual sponsor of the IWC and thanks all game wardens for your efforts and dedication to stopping poaching.
