Program Description
Policing is an important function in society, especially where rare and endangered plants and animals are involved. As an officer, a student must have a basic knowledge of the classification of plants and animals and a sound knowledge of the relevant legislation, investigative methods, and court procedures.
The University of Central Missouri's Conservation Enforcement studies provides students with the essential education to manage, conserve, and protect fish and wildlife, and the land and water environments on which we co-depend. Such tasks demand people broadly trained in science, ecology, and public policy, but also sensitive to political issues and social values. The Conservation Enforcement program is an ideal place to gain the knowledge, experience, and insight they will need.
