Douglas County Senior Deputy District Attorney Allision Eichmann was recently honored with the 2020 Wildlife Prosecutor of the Year Award.

A release from the Douglas County Commissioners said that each year the Fish and Wildlife Division of Oregon State Police presents a series of awards that honor the service of individuals during the previous year. Individuals are nominated by OSP officers, then a panel reviews them and selects the winners. The Prosecutor of the Year Award goes to someone who has excelled in the prosecution of fish and wildlife cases. The award, which includes a framed artwork of a wildlife scene, is made possible by the Oregon Sportsman’s Coalition.

Eichmann was nominated by Roseburg OSP Fish and Wildlife, Senior Trooper Baimbridge and Senior Trooper Stone. Trooper Baimbridge said, “We like to call Allision our DA because she cares about Fish and Wildlife laws, she has taken the time to understand how to prosecute our unique cases very well, she makes herself available for team meetings and presentations and has taken a personal interest in valuing our local wildlife community”.

A number of OSP staff attended the presentation which was held during the Weekly Business Meeting of the Commissioners on June 2nd. Commissioner Tim Freeman said, “Allision does an exceptional job for the county, and we are proud of all the work she has done and continues to do in the Douglas County District Attorney’s Office”.
