Law Enforcement Opportunities

Note: In 2008 the Department of Natural Resources will not be conducting a recruitment, testing and hiring process for permanent, full-time conservation warden positions. We anticipate our next hiring process for permanent staff will be in the spring of 2009.

The following specialized positions are promotional opportunities within the warden force:

Environmental Investigations - work on serious criminal violations of environmental law
Special Operations - covert investigators work on commercialization of resources
Law Enforcement Safety Specialists - promote DNR safety programs and work with volunteer instructors at the regional level
Warden Management/Supervision - First line supervisors and regional wardens run the day-to-day operations. Bureau staff wardens serve to enhance field operations, work with legislative initiatives, and track work plans and finances.
Training & Recruitment - Manage the warden hiring process, coordinate new warden training and supervision; coordinate specialized and continuing education for wardens statewide.
Recreational Safety Administration - Safety administrators coordinate all boat, snowmobile, ATV, and Hunter Education programs across the state.
