Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 56, § 69.1. Purpose

A. Law enforcement is an important tool in effective wildlife and fisheries management. Louisiana's extensive natural resources and the large numbers of resource users cause enforcement to become especially critical. However, costs associated with enforcement often prevent the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries from providing enforcement adequate to meet needs.

B. The purpose of this Subpart, then, is to create and to provide a means whereby auxiliary enforcement agents can supplement the efforts of wildlife agents of the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.
