Yeah it’s a great job but there’s not many of them around. I wanted to do this and my mom’s cousin works for them and was pretty high up there. He said there’s nothing he could do to help other than provide advice because there’s so many people that want the job that have connections and he said back then they figured it was a 100 year waiting list for qualified people.

Hundred year waiting list?

But I’ll take one of those free pens I see on the table.

I'm sure I could list off ten reason why NOT to become a State LEO.

After the Conservation Dept. became the Department of enviornmental conservation it has bee filled with political hacks in the leadership positions and the field tech's and biologists are stuck with them and their political bullshit and by extension, so are we. I see no reason why that branch of the department would be any different and it isn't.
And we pay for the shovels that bury us in the waste.

I'm sure I could list off ten reason why NOT to become a State LEO.

Standard capacity magazines, NFA items, full featured semi-auto rifles, free work vehicle, no speeding tickets, open carry state wide, LEOSA, decent pay and healthcare, state pension, etc. Who would want any of those things?

I have been hunting the woods on and off at my friends place in Livingston Manor for about 25 years and have never seen an Encon officer. I don't know if it's luck or there is not enough officers to cover all of NY.
