A Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries enforcement agent was honored at the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission meeting this morning, Dec. 2, in Baton Rouge.
Sgt. Tim Fox, of Metairie, was recognized as this year’s National Association of State Boating Law Administrator’s (NASBLA) “Boating Law Enforcement Officer of the Year” award for Louisiana.
Sgt. Fox has been an agent for over 14 years and mainly patrols the waterways in southeastern Louisiana. He is a boating safety educator, certified drug recognition expert, instructor for standard field sobriety, instructor for seated battery and is currently training to be an Intoxyilizer instructor.
“Sgt. Fox is a major asset to LDWF and more specifically to the safe boating mission,” said Major Clay Marquez, who presented the award. “His most beneficial contribution to the department’s boating program is his tireless effort over his entire career to enforce boating laws on the water. He’s always fair in his discretion with the public and applies the law fairly - making the waterways in his district safer for the boating public.”
Sgt. Fox has also graduated from the U.S. Coast Guard Marine Patrol Officers Course, the Marine Law Enforcement Training Program and the NASBLA Comprehensive Accident Investigation and Analysis Course.
