Living in a law enforcement household has given me a glimpse into how challenging, important, and rewarding such service can be. While Andy retired many years ago, he’s maintained contact and friendships with those he once worked with, and I’ve seen the loyalty, care, and value of those relationships – and it’s something that results from being passionate about your job, and sharing that commitment with others.
The agency where I currently work – the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation – is seeking out applicants for our Forest Ranger and Environmental Conservation Police Officer positions. They recently revised the qualifications, so if you’ve shied away from this exam in the past give it a fresh look and see if you or anyone you know would qualify and be interested in pursuing these vital positions. This is the link to the exam announcement.
In order to truly represent the interests and concerns of all New Yorkers, we are seeking a broad and diverse candidate field. Our Governor has also initiated a ’30 by 30′ goal, which aims to expand the number of women in law enforcement to 30% of the total by the year 2030. If you or someone you know has what it takes to rise to the challenge, and if they want to make a difference while supporting our mission of Environmental Conservation, I encourage you to apply. Please note that the deadline to apply is quickly approaching – August 3, 2022.
(Feel free to reach out to me with any questions as well – it just so happens that I administer the HR side of Law Enforcement and Forest Protection at our agency, but don’t let that stop you!)
