Pennsylvania Game Commission Southeast Regional Headquarters

Overview

Welcome to the Pennsylvania Game Commission Southeast Regional Headquarters, conveniently located in Reading, PA. As a dedicated state government office, this corporate and government office serves as the central hub for wildlife management, conservation initiatives, and public education across southeastern Pennsylvania. From responding to injured wildlife calls to providing expert guidance on outdoor regulations, our team is committed to safeguarding the region’s natural resources and ensuring that communities and wildlife coexist harmoniously.

Our Mission & Commitment

At the heart of the Pennsylvania Game Commission Southeast Regional Headquarters lies a mission to conserve Pennsylvania’s wildlife heritage through science-based management, public engagement, and ethical stewardship. We strive to:

• Deliver timely and professional wildlife response services.
• Educate citizens on safe and responsible outdoor practices.
• Foster trust through transparent communication and community outreach.

While resource availability can sometimes challenge response capabilities, our staff works tirelessly to overcome capacity limitations—calling in contractors when needed and coordinating across departments—to meet public expectations as swiftly and effectively as possible.

Rapid, Compassionate Wildlife Response

One of the hallmarks of our service is a rapid compassionate response when wildlife emergencies arise. Whether it’s a distressed deer on a busy roadway or an injured raptor in a suburban backyard, our game wardens aim to arrive quickly and render aid with empathy.

• “Game warden came out within an hour of our call and professionally and compassionately dealt with the animal.”
  This kind of feedback underscores our dedication to treating every creature with respect. Although a small number of incidents experience delays of up to 72 hours due to contractor schedules or resource constraints, our Southeast Regional Headquarters continues to refine its dispatch protocols to minimize wait times.

Professionalism, Courtesy & Expertise

As a premier government office, we take pride in the professionalism and attitude of our staff. Many residents praise our knowledgeable dispatchers and officers who combine courtesy with genuine care:

• “The Dispatcher was great and helpful, the responding officer was a stand-up guy who was genuinely concerned.”
  We acknowledge that, on occasion, customers have encountered less-than-ideal interactions. In response, we have implemented ongoing customer-service training to ensure every call, every field visit, and every educational program reflects the highest standards of courtesy and respect.

Exceptional Advice & Public Education

Beyond emergency responses, our Southeast Regional Headquarters excels in guiding landowners, outdoor enthusiasts, and schools in wildlife identification, habitat management, and regulatory compliance. We transform moments of uncertainty into learning opportunities:

• “I was given excellent advice and was educated on the situation.”
  Through workshops, printed guides, and one-on-one consultations, our staff demystifies wildlife behavior and empowers citizens to make informed decisions—whether they’re addressing a backyard nuisance or simply seeking a deeper understanding of local ecosystems.

Regional Leadership You Can Trust

Leadership at our Southeast Regional Headquarters drives a culture of integrity and community engagement. Under the stewardship of Region Director Pete Sussenbach, our office has become a model of responsiveness and transparency. Residents often single out his leadership for praise:

• “Pete Sussenbach is my number 1 favorite region director👍”

Building Trust & Accountability

We understand some community members harbor concerns about government efficiency, ethics, and motives. In response, the Pennsylvania Game Commission Southeast Regional Headquarters has enhanced its transparency measures:

• Publishing regular reports on response times and wildlife outcomes.
• Hosting open houses and town-hall meetings to address questions and share operational updates.
• Collaborating with independent auditors to ensure fiscal integrity and prevent any notion of “profit-driven” actions.
