Opportunites

Fish and Wildlife Officers are offered a variety of unique career opportunities that can’t be found at any other law enforcement agency in the state. Because we partner with city and county law enforcement entities, State Parks, DNR Enforcement, NOAA, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Tribes, Homeland Security, and US Coast Guard, to name a few, our Officers are well-rounded in many different areas of law enforcement, and have the opportunity to develop a very specialized set of skills that they would not find anywhere else.
