How to Become an Arkansas Game Warden

Video Transcript

"Hello, my name is Officer Mike Roach. I'm with the Utah Department of Wildlife Resources. Today I'd like to talk briefly about how to become an Arkansas game warden. Like the state here in Utah, you need to be a citizen of the United States, or be able to become a naturalized citizen of the United States. You must be at least twenty-one years of age. In most states in the United States, you're going to become a peace officer after you become a game warden and you need to be at least twenty-one. You also have to be able to pass an interview, a fairly extensive interview and pass a written examination as well. You'll will also be required to take a physical exam and take a physical test. A lot of what we do as game wardens both here in Utah and in Arkansas, you, there are some physical activity required and you need to be in good physical shape. You also need to be able to swim, a lot of your job will require you to work in a boat on the water and you need to be able to swim. You also need to have a driver's license and you need to be able to relocate within the state of Arkansas to where ever you might receive a job."
