Game Wardens assist other state and local law enforcement agencies in the apprehension of dangerous criminals, in stemming the flow of illegal drugs into our state, and in protecting life and property during natural disasters such as hurricanes and wildland fires.
They serve on the front lines of the homeland security mission, helping to secure our borders, ports and vital infrastructure.
Game Wardens enforce boating safety laws, protect our waters from polluters, and often take the lead in search-and-rescue operations on the state's lakes and bays.
Before "community policing" was fashionable, Game Wardens were doing it: volunterring at county fairs, speaking to civic organizations and organizing youth events.
Around town, on the water and along the state's highways and byways, Game Wardens are the public face of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department – a face that, increasingly, looks and sounds like the citizens they serve. They teach. They inspire. They promote a culture of conservation that benefits all Texans.
Game Warden. It's a tough title to earn. It's a title synonymous with words like Duty. Passion. Dedication. Courage. Integrity. Service.
