Indiana Conservation Officers also have full police powers. Actually they can do what any state policeman can do and then they also can enforce the fish and game laws too.

Some of the Indiana CO also take CPR and EMT classes so that they can provide medical assistance as a first responder in times of need.

Our CO's in Warrick County work out of the same office as the Warrick County Sheriff deputies and can be dispatched simply by calling the Warrick county Dispatch Office.

I have called dispatch and asked them to have a CO contact me so that I could get answers to some questions. A CO called me back within an hour and he answered my questions about fishing and hunting laws. He was very polite and helpful.

These guys have a hard job to do. For without them there could possibly be very little game left to hunt.

We all need to practice some conservation principles.

These guys assist the Sheriff Deputies and the State Police at times as well.

There is no seperate water patrol agency.
