Serving our State's Great Resources The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks law enforcement program exists to help provide safe hunting and fishing opportunities and conserve native wildlife and fisheries populations.
Conservation officers are the backbone of the enforcement program.
To the public, they are probably the most visible employee in the agency. Conservation officers, of course, help ensure compliance with the state's game and fish laws. But that is just part of the enforcement program. Officers regularly serve as teachers and agency goodwill ambassadors by conducting boating and hunter education courses. They are in constant demand as speakers for clubs and organizational meetings.
