CONCORD, NH — David Walsh of Antrim, NH, has been promoted to Major and is the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department’s new Assistant Chief of Law Enforcement.

“The Law Enforcement Division is fortunate to have an officer with Dave’s background and abilities to assist us in managing the Department’s responsibilities and promoting its initiatives,” said Fish and Game Law Enforcement Chief Colonel Kevin Jordan. “Dave has done an outstanding job in his current position as Captain while also overseeing Off Highway Recreational Vehicle Enforcement, which includes Safety Education Training, the Registration Program, Enforcement Patrol Procedures and Tactic Training, and Legislative representation as it relates to the OHRV explosion we are experiencing in New Hampshire.”

A 22-year veteran of NH Fish and Game, Walsh patrolled in the Nashua area for five years before being transferred to southwestern New Hampshire. There he rose to the District 4 Sergeant position, serving as the Assistant Chief until his promotion to Lieutenant and District 4 Chief in 2014. In 2017, he was promoted to Administrative Captain in the Law Enforcement Division.

“Dave has been very successful in his role conducting special undercover investigations for New Hampshire and Vermont. His tenure includes major successful investigations and prosecution of significant cases,” continued Jordan. “He has also demonstrated outstanding leadership, accomplishing his duties with a high standard of fairness and professionalism.”

Walsh earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Wildlife Management from the University of New Hampshire in 1995. During his years with Fish and Game, he completed the intensive four-week Marine Law Enforcement Training Program at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Georgia. Walsh is a Field Training Officer and leads the Conservation Officer oral board interview team. He is a charter member of the airboat team, a member of the firearms instructor team, and a trained background investigator. He was also honored by the Northeast Conservation Law Enforcement Chiefs Association as the Officer of the Year in 2002.
