Indiana Conservation Officers are fully empowered law enforcement officers who are employed by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Division and enforce all laws of Indiana. Primary duties of Conservation Officers include enforcement of fish and wildlife laws, natural, historical, and cultural resource laws, boating laws, and outdoor recreation laws.

This test is a questionnaire that ensures each applicant meets the minimum qualifications to be considered for employment. The minimum qualifications are as follows: must be a United States citizen, must be 21 years of age by October 20, 2017, must have an Associate's degree or 60 credit hours towards a Bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university, or in lieu of the college requirements have 4 years active concurrent military service with a honorable discharge by May 22, 2017, and must not have a felony or misdemeanor domestic battery conviction.
