Missouri Dept of Conservation Protection Branch
Missouri conservation agents are Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST) certified law enforcement officers responsible for enforcing the rules of Wildlife Code of Missouri throughout the state of Missouri. They also have authority to enforce all state laws on lands owned, leased, or managed by the Conservation Commission per Article IV, Sections 40-46 of the Missouri Constitution, and various state statutes. Missouri conservation agents work with all citizens to increase voluntary compliance with the Wildlife Code of Missouri through a community policing approach to resource law enforcement, science-based regulation development, public engagement, and public outreach.
