Department of Wildlife now hiring new officers

Published 5:00 pm Thursday, March 27, 2025

The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP) is now accepting applications for the next Law Enforcement Cadet class. Conservation officers help ensure compliance with the state’s game and fish laws, but that is just a part of their job. They also serve as public relations representatives and teachers in the field because they have direct contact with hunters, fishermen, other outdoor participants, and field observers. 

Availability of Law Enforcement Cadet positions can be found on the Mississippi State Personnel Board website at www.governmentjobs.com/careers/mississippi. MDWFP is looking for quali-fied candidates to fill positions across the state. The deadline to apply is Monday, April 21, 2025.
