If wardens were the first on the scene and the forest was within a municipal border, they'd call in the city police, if the forest was outside the borders of a city or town in unincorporated county land it would be the county sheriff's office and if it was in a state park or other state facility, the state police.
If the sheriff's deputies got there and decided that they needed local police help with a situation, they could put in an inter-agency call. That is what happened in this case, according to the call Nick got from Wu, but the reason given for why they called in PPB sounded weird to me, because MCSO certainly has the resources to handle a suspected DUI, a missing person report or a homicide. Maybe they were just swamped that day.
Nick always struck me as being very susceptible to suggestion. If Monroe and Rosalee thought he should do something, he usually did it. If Hank, Juliette and Renard piled on with the same opinion, they'd have him thinking exactly the way they thought he should by the end of the episode. Offhand, I can't think of a single instance in which the scoobies thought he should do something and he ended up not doing it.
Face, not just in Oregon but also in many other states, the game wardens do not enforce crimes related to people. They enforce laws that effect the wild game and the environment. I grew up in NY State and was an avid hunter. Hunting laws in NYS are enforced by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation Agency. They enforce laws pertaining to game harvesting, such as licensing for hunting & Fishing and environmental resources abuse.
If there was an accidental shooting of a hunter, as it occurs, more often that it should, those incidents would be referred to either local police, state police and I think, NY also has Forest Police Agency, since half the state is still a wilderness area. One of the finer meanings of the word “Police”.
As for Inter-Agency co-operations in investigating crimes, I can recall at least two episodes where an outside LE agency asked PPD/Nick and Hank to assist. The scrap yard guys burying flat tire victims alive and the glowing Wesen couple having a baby. I might be wrong on that. I also recall the seven crucifixion episodes to stop the drought.
Trying to make Nick & Co. a nature murderer is a bit far-fetched. Like you said on a previous post. How can anyone criticize the gang and not be appalled of that tree creature doing the same thing that the gang is being accused of?
