Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries agents are the stars of a new Animal Planet series “Louisiana Law” which premiered Sunday at 8 PM.
LDWF Enforcement Division Colonel Chad Hebert says the program showcases what a game warden does daily as they traverse the Louisiana wilds from the wooded north to the coastal marshlands.
“One of the things we really wanted to emphasize was that we are going on patrol, we are going to do our jobs and if they wanted to ride along, they can, so you will things all the way from Monroe down to Grand Isle,” said Hebert.
The first episode focused on a crab trap theft, the rescue of an injured bald eagle, and the search of a boat where the captain did not have the proper licenses for the thousands of dollars of oysters he had on the vessel.
“We have agents on boats, on four-wheelers, on foot, we have them check in on all different types of licenses, pretty much everything to do with the conservation efforts here in Louisiana,” said Hebert.
Hebert says working with the production team was a joy and they really captured the feel of the job.
“Our guys out on the field really work hard,” said Herbert. “The film crew was great, they stayed out of the way and let us do our job and you’ll see on the show that our agents really did some good work.”
