Game Warden Willy

Game warden, Warden Willy enforces the laws for hunting, fishing and trapping wild animals.

Game Wardens are state or local officials responsible for enforcing laws pertaining to the hunting, fishing, and trapping of wild animals. However game wardens in some areas have general law enforcement authority which means they can affect arrests for most crimes including traffic, and other general violations of the law.

Game wardens, also known as conservation officers, have broad duties within the law enforcement spectrum, such as ensuring that licensing requirements are met by hunters, fishermen, and trappers.

Officers teach hunter education classes and operate other programs to teach children, and the public, the importance of wildlife management and habitat conservation.
