District One Welcomes Two New Conservation Officers to Marshall and Wabash Counties

Syracuse, Ind. –  Indiana Conservation Officers welcome two new officers, Hunter Law and Ben Duecker, to District One.

Hunter Law is 21 years old and will be assigned Marshall County. He is originally from LaFontaine and holds a degree from Vincennes University in Conservation Law Enforcement. Like all conservation officers he is an avid outdoorsman, spending much of his free time hunting, fishing for crappies, and riding ATVs. With a name like Hunter Law it seems he was born for this job, and sorry to all you hopeful singles he recently was engaged to future Mrs. Law.

Ben Duecker is also an outdoorsman and will be assign Wabash County. The 33 year old comes to our agency with 8 years of experience in law enforcement working for the Wabash County Sheriff’s Department and has a criminal justice degree from Indiana Wesleyan University. Ben is originally from Ohio and is married with two kids.

Eleven Conservation Officers patrol District One which includes Saint Joseph, Elkhart, Marshall, Kosciusko, Fulton, Miami, and Wabash Counties in north central Indiana. Excluding staff, Hunter and Ben bring that number up to thirteen.

Both officers have already started serving their communities while they complete field training. Please join us in wishing these two success in what we hope will be a long, rewarding career.
