Why aren't the police concerned with environmental crimes such as pollution?

Answer 1

Check out the Chicago Water Reclamation District Police. They already have enough work to do. Such as dealing with criminals, rapist, murder suspects and other issues. I think that the government should have a team designed just for enviromental crimes. * There is a team - The Environmental Protection Agency. It has almost unchecked authority to make and enforce regulations. The rules and regulations regarding environmental pollution are almost all Federal. As such the Federal authorities enforce them, rather than local or state law enforcement. That is not to say that they would ignore such things, but they are not on the top of the priority list.
