Hey Luke,

You'll often find job listings for wardens under the title D.E.E.P officers these days. They carry out many of the same tasks, but they're also fully-fledged police officers, thanks to the challenging nature of the environments they work in. Sometimes, these roles are even advertised as "conservation police".

Their responsibilities include responding to calls about hunting incidents, animal injuries, and relocation efforts. However, their roles have broadened to include overseeing state waters and ensuring boating safety. This means they have the authority to issue you a ticket for illegal hunting, and they can even arrest you if you're caught operating a boat while under the influence of alcohol or drugs!

So, if you haven't thought about getting a boating license once you reach your state's minimum age, taking some related courses could put you on the right track.

Hi Luke,


Not all game warden job descriptions will be the same, as job duties certainly vary according to the area patrolled. For example, game wardens working along coastal areas will undoubtedly have different duties than those posted in wooded areas. However, most jobs require these wildlife professionals to:



  • Enforce laws

  • Investigate violations

  • Apprehend violators and issues citations/fines

  • Conduct surveillance

  • Patrol assigned areas/regions

  • Coordinate and oversee educational programs for the public

  • Assist wildlife management efforts

  • Partner with other law enforcement agencies

  • Conduct search and rescue operations

  • Write incident reports and testify in court

  • Collect and catalogue evidnece

  • Investigate and collect data on wildlife and environmental changes
