Indiana Conservation Officers to host recruiting event in Greene and Putnam counties

INDIANA – Anyone interested in becoming an Indiana Conservation Officer is encouraged to attend one of two identical recruiting events that DNR Law Enforcement’s District 5 will host in Greene and Putnam counties. The same material will be covered at each event.

The first is Wednesday, May 18, at 6 p.m. in Greene County at the Goose Pond Fish & Wildlife Area Visitor Center. The address is 13540 West County Road 400 South, Linton, IN 47441.

The second is Saturday, May 21, at 9 a.m. in Putnam County at the Cagles Mill Lake (Lieber State Recreation Area) Nature Center. The address is 1317 W. Lieber Road, Suite 1, Cloverdale, IN 46120. Gate fees will be waived for those attending this event.
