Do you think you have what it takes to be a Wildlife and Fisheries enforcement officer? If so, now’s your chance to join the force! Stephen Clark, the superintendent of the enforcement division of LDWF, says applications are now being accepted for the department’s 38th enforcement academy.
“The application period started on December 1st, and it remains open through December 22nd,” Clark said.
Clark says when the application window closes, they will choose the best applicants to take part in the academy.
“We’re going to try to hire 35 new cadets to start the training academy towards the end of March,” Clark noted.
What’s different about this one is that this is a hybrid academy, meaning it will be open to both POST-certified police officers and non-POST-certified officers. Clark says POST-certified officers chosen will have a slightly accelerated academy.
“Their academy will be a bit shorter, approximately 14 weeks. For the folks that are coming in with no law
enforcement experience, 22 to 24 weeks,” Clark explained.
