Conservation officers set recruit screenings
INDIANAPOLIS - Col. Scotty Wilson announced today that DNR Law Enforcement has scheduled three initial screening dates to begin selection of candidates for the division's 30th recruit school to train new conservation officers later this year.
Indiana conservation officers represent the oldest law enforcement agency in Indiana, and one of the most versatile.
In addition to enforcing all state and federal laws, with special emphasis on conservation and natural resources regulations, Indiana conservation officers are active in programs that promote boater, hunter, snowmobile, and trapper education. Cave rescue, river rescue, underwater search and recovery, and canine teams are specialty response units of the division.
To participate in the initial screening, an applicant must show a valid driver's license; proof of being at least 21 years of age by Oct. 1, 2011; and a college transcript indicating completion of at least 60 hours of college credit by Sept. 1, 2011. Applicants meeting those requirements will begin the candidate screening process with a battery of tests given at the following locations and dates:
May 5, 5 p.m., Lincoln Junior High School, 220 N. Liberty St., Plymouth
May 12, 5 p.m., Scottsburg High School, 500 N. Gardner St., Scottsburg
May 21, 9 a.m., Indiana Law Enforcement Academy, 5402 Sugar Grove Road, Plainfield
The tests cover areas of general knowledge and survey the applicant's personal preferences and vocational interests. There is no specific area of study required or recommended for the tests.
Registration for the tests will begin one hour prior to the test time. Persons interested in taking the tests should report to the location of their choice no later than one-half hour prior to the listed start time. Late arrivals will not be permitted to take the tests.
Applicants who successfully complete the initial screening phase of the recruitment process will be invited to fill out a detailed job application and undergo a thorough background investigation. They will have a structured interview, take a psychological profile assessment, and undergo medical and physical fitness examinations. All potential recruits must pass a swim test.
Applicants with the highest scores in the recruitment process will be admitted to the four-week training school to be conducted in September. The top 27 recruits will be sworn in as Indiana conservation officers and given assignments for duty in various locations across the state.
