Officer Davidson, who lives in Tallassee, will be assigned to Chambers County. He is a graduate of Auburn and Auburn University Montgomery.

Officer Myers, who is also an Auburn graduate, is from Prattville. He will be assigned to Montgomery County.

District IV includes Autauga, Bullock, Chambers, Coosa, Elmore, Lee, Lowndes, Macon, Montgomery, Russell and Tallapoosa counties.

Conservation Enforcement Officers have an exciting and rewarding outdoor job that demands strength, character, and a high degree of self motivation. Officers are generally assigned at a rate of two per county.
