My cousin graduated from IUP with a criminal justice degree and worked as a field investigator for the Pennsylvania Crime Commission back in the day and was never issued a weapon.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission has never had a title of "Field Investigator" Biologist, Food and cover workers, Admin people WCO's DWCO"s or as they were called back in the day Game Protectors. Everyone involved with investigations is and always has been armed.

You were not a Special Agent as you claim in your first post. Interns do NOT become special agents, nor can you carry a gun for state employment with the AG's office, PGC, PSP or PF&BC until you are 21, you claimed you were 20. Sorry but that dog dont hunt. I have worked for the state as a L.E. Officer for the last 12 years.

She worked for the Pennsylvania Crime Commission. Not sure where you got the word game from? They investigated organized crime and there was a report published in book form after the investigation was complete in 1980. She is listed in the book as a field investigator. It can still be found in some libraries if you look under.:
Pennsylvania Crime Commission 1980 Decade of Organized Crime State Police
Pa Crime Commission 1980 Report on Organized Crime across the State.

Because in these difficult times, I don't feel that I could find another job, with the pay and benefits I currently have. The other thing is, they're mostly cowards. Not saying I'm Chuck Norris, but I stand up when absolutely necessary without worrying that I'm going to get fired for it. If i were to get shot, chances are it would be wrong place, wrong time (and no one can predict that before it happens). There are just too many variables with my job to have to worry about constantly hiding it. I guess I just haven't convinced myself that I want to go forward yet. Maybe in time...but I doubt it.
