The Indiana Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division is the law enforcement division of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, the fish and game regulatory agency of Indiana. The department has jurisdiction anywhere in the state and in state territorial waters. The division headquarters is located in Indianapolis and operates 10 law enforcement districts in the state. The Law Enforcement Division employs 214 conservation officers. Indiana conservation officers not only enforce state laws, but teach outdoor education courses, conduct river rescue, cave rescue, underwater search and recovery, and have K-9 teams.[1]

History

In 1897, the Indiana General Assembly gave the Commissioner of Fisheries (the predecessor to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources) the authority to appoint at least one deputy in every Indiana county. In 1911, an act was passed establishing game wardens. The Law Enforcement Division is Indiana’s oldest state law enforcement agency.[1]
