 The
Division of Law Enforcement is responsible for protecting
Nevada’s wildlife resources and ensuring the safety
of the boating public, which includes enforcing the provisions
of Nevada Revised Statutes and all other regulations that
affect wildlife issues.
Support activities of this division include implementing
Operation Game Thief, and
providing warden training, public assistance, 110,000 square
miles. Most wardens patrol an area of 3,235 square miles,
and radio communications.
In 2000, Nevada’s 35 game wardens handled patrol duties
over the entire area of the state; approximately
while a few are responsible for patrol areas of nearly 10,000
square miles. View current employment
opportunities.
The Law Enforcement Division is committed to maximizing voluntary
compliance by providing information at boat shows, county
fairs, hunter education indoctrinations, boat ramp inspections,
and by assisting in the production of clear and understandable
regulation brochures.
The Law Enforcement Division relies heavily on public support.
Most big game poaching cases are solved when the public reports
violations through Operation Game Thief. Citizens have helped
game wardens by conducting unit watches, similar to neighborhood
watch. Game wardens work constantly with the public to enhance
voluntary compliance with Nevada’s wildlife and boating
laws.
