The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries (LDWF) honored two Louisiana college students who completed the agency’s Enforcement Internship Program.
Chancellor Bordelon from Baton Rouge Community College and Joshua Browning from Baton Rouge Community College completed the LDWF Enforcement Division’s Internship Program.
The students gave their final presentations on Dec. 5 at the LDWF HQ building in Baton Rouge to receive college credit from their universities. Their presentations highlighted the experiences they had working with enforcement agents and their interactions with the public.
The LDWF Enforcement Division started their internship program in 2021 with the goal of providing college students relevant experience in conservation law enforcement and potentially a career as an LDWF Enforcement Agent.
The internship program lasts between 90 to 130 hours and consists of shadowing LDWF agents in the field such as during patrols, training and outreach programs that will help them acquire a broad knowledge of LDWF Enforcement Agent activities.
