Indiana Conservation Officer Trevor Sager has been selected as the 2024 District 6 Officer of the Year.

Sager has served as a conservation officer for three years.

In addition to his normal duties as a field officer, Sager serves as a field training officer, remotely operated vehicle (ROV) search operator, passenger for hire inspector, public information officer, and background investigator for the Department of Natural Resources Division of Law Enforcement.
