Figure 20. 63-foot Fish and Game patrol boat BLUEFIN. The commission operates two of these vessels in Southern California waters. Equipped witli two Hall Scott Defender engines, radar, radio and full marine equipment. Photograph hy Vernon M. Haden. San Pedro. another vessel of this type to cover San Francisco Bay and ocean waters adjacent as far south as Monterey. The next fiscal year's budget provides for this purchase. Considerable progress is being made with car and boat radio com- munications for the warden service. A number of areas in the State which in the past have not had this type of communications are operating satisfactorily with either county sheriff's installations or state facilities. In many instances the counties furnish the equipment. We had hoped to report that arrests and convictions for the biennium would have decreased over the previous period, but this is not the case. Total arrests for the biennium were 12,947, an increase of 1,616 over the previous like period. The average fine was over $43, a slight increase over the last biennium. A survey of arrests and fines throughout the Nation indicates the average fine to be $21 for fish and game law violations. The commission and the bureau at this time wish to thank the California courts for their cooperation in assessing penalties more than twice the general average for the Nation. It will be noted that the arrests, fines and forfeitures were con- siderably higher during the first fiscal year than in the second fiscal year of this report; however, the jail sentences were more than two and one-half times greater in the second fiscal year than in the first. A recapitulation of arrests, fines and seizures will be found in Appendix Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images
