More on The FWC
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is responsible for managing fish and wildlife resources for their long-term well-being and the benefit of people. The Division of Law Enforcement is one of six divisions in the agency and a vital element in fulfilling the agency’s responsibilities. FWC officers work with members of other divisions to protect Florida’s people and natural resources, particularly in the state’s woods and waters. This covers many aspects, including protecting imperiled species, promoting human safety during outdoor recreation and creating the next generation that cares about conservation.
The Division of Law Enforcement’s motto is “Patrol, Protect, Preserve.” The methods FWC officers employ extend beyond traditional law enforcement roles. Not only do they conduct wilderness patrols, fisheries inspections and boating safety checks in order to accomplish their missions, but they must be creative in their efforts and active in their communities. They must be ready to respond to emergencies and mutual aid requests, coordinate with stakeholders, work closely with other divisions within the agency, educate the public and inspire and cultivate the next generation of conservationists.
