Minimum requirements

• Employer overview generally requires a bachelor's degree by hire in no specified major, OR an associate's degree with two years of law-enforcement or wildlife experience.

• Overview lists age 21 or older, valid driver license, North Dakota peace-officer licensure or eligibility, no felony conviction record and a comprehensive background check. Current complete licensing/disqualifier rules remain unverified independently; consult the actual current job/testing notice.
