FWC hiring wildlife cops

 The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is looking for a few good men and women to serve as law enforcement officers.

Currently, the FWC has just over 700 officers to patrol more than 34 million acres of public and private lands, 12,000 miles of streams, rivers and canals and 7,700 lakes larger than 10 acres.

Applicants must pass a background check and be willing to relocate.

To be considered you have to be at least 19 years old and have a high school diploma.

You should also be in good physical health.

The agency sends its new recruits through a six-month academy at the Pat Thomas Law Enforcement Center unless they are already certified law enforcement officers – they attend a shorter, specialized academy that focuses mostly on state fish and wildlife laws.

.

If you are interested you can start the application process by completing both a State of Florida employment application and an FWC supplemental application by April 30th

Those are available on-line at peoplefirst.myflorida.com.

Starting pay for FWC officers is $32,836.18 a year.
