Warden." He graduated as part of the Fourth Class from the H.R. Stackhouse School of Fisheries Conservation and
Watercraft Safety on September 17, 1968. In July of 1972, he accepted the position of Waterways Patrolman Supervisor
II at the Harrisburg headquarters office. In October of 1977, he was promoted to Deputy Chief of the Law Enforcement
Division, and in April 1981, he was promoted to Chief of the Law Enforcement Division. In 1987, the Law Enforcement
Division, as the result of reorganization, became the Bureau of Law Enforcement, and Ed was named Director of the newly
formed bureau.

He was instrumental in developing the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission's Bureau of Law Enforcement and its personnel into a nationally recognized conservation law enforcement organization. The Edward W. Manhart Academic Achievement Award is given to a member of each graduating class of the H.R. Stackhouse School of Fisheries Conservation and Watercraft Safety who has achieved the highest overall academic average during the course of the training. |
