Swain gets new wildlife officer

Dakota Curtis of Sumpter, South Carolina, was sworn in as a new Swain County wildlife law enforcement officer with the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission last week. 

Curtis was one of 21 cadets to be sworn in during the Commission’s 55th Basic School graduation. New officers will now begin six months of on-the-job training under the supervision of a veteran wildlife officer, assigned a permanent duty station thereafter.
