Kansas Game Wardens needed
Five openings to be filled; more vacancies will occur in 2015
If you want an office with a view, enjoy the outdoors and like working with both wildlife and people, the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) may have an opening for you. KDWPT invites interested applicants to test for entry level game warden positions within the Law Enforcement Division. Successful applicants will become part of a pool of eligible persons who may receive offers to become a Natural Resource Officer I, commonly known as a Game Warden or Conservation Officer. There are five vacancies to be filled immediately. Additional vacancies will become available during 2015.
Kansas Game Wardens are responsible for enforcing wildlife laws and regulations, patrolling the waters of Kansas, investigating hunting and boating accidents and conducting boat safety inspections and BUI checks. Wardens also promote outdoor safety by conducting hunting and boating safety programs and teaching hunter education and boating safety courses. As certified law enforcement officers, Game Wardens also assist other law enforcement agencies with search and rescue operations, fugitive searches, illegal drug investigations and more.
The deadline to apply is November 7th, and the applications must be postmarked on or before that date. Testing will be held on December 20th, 2014 in Salina, Kansas. More detailed information will be provided to those applicants that meet the minimum qualifications and are selected for testing.
