There is no such thing as a Game Warden per say in Alaska.  The "Game Wardens" are actually State Police assigned to the Department of Fish and Game.  Our F&G here in Valdez does both functions: he is on the water and the road system patroling.

You might want to contact the State Police and see what they say.  Best of luck!

Our Wild Life Protection officers are actually State Troopers.  During the hunting and fishing season's they do wildlife protection.  The rest of the year they are reguler State Troopers, doing the same thing that all the other Troopers do.

What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

these links might help you learn more.

State Trooper web site:  http://www.dps.state.ak.us/ast/

recruitment:  http://www.dps.state.ak.us/ast/recruit/

wildlife enforcement:  http://www.dps.state.ak.us/fwp/


Keep your nose clean, get good grades, hang out on this forum and you'll learn a lot.  There is lots more on the web too.  Check out other State of Alaksa websites too.

One way some guys get their start in Alaska by working in the VPSO program but it can be a tough, low paying way to start.  Also, if you have never worked in the bush the culture shock can be considerable.  Bush Alaska doesn't work like mainstream USA and you have to be flexible,  open minded and willing to learn.

sachel.45 - In some areas of WA they enforce more then just game laws. In alot of rural areas the Gamies, Parkies and Feds share the duties with local enforcement, or are the local enforcement.
