The badge is earned, not given. Graduation day 👮‍♂️👮‍♀️🎓

Earlier today, the 68th Game Warden Training Academy held its graduation ceremony at the State Capitol in Austin, TX, where Texas State Park Police and Texas Game Warden cadets received their commission.

Since October, these men and women have prepared for this moment and their lives as state law enforcement officers for Texas Parks & Wildlife Department. Throughout their training, they have distinguished themselves by showcasing discipline, courage, and determination in overcoming and meeting every challenge presented to them.

With their training behind them, now it’s time to go to work. These graduates from the 68th class are ready to serve and protect the great State of Texas as they embark on their law enforcement journey.

Here’s to a bright future of dedication, leadership, and service. We are proud to have you on the team! 6️⃣8️⃣TH 🦌 🎣 🏕️🚔
