Episode 799: We're Just Too Comfortable with John Nores

On this episode, Dennis speaks with Best Selling Author, National
Speaker and Thin Green Line Warrior, John Nores.


John, a California native, grew up in a small town in rural Santa
Clara County. The eldest of four, he and his brothers and sister
(the wolf pack as their mom coined them) developed a love for
nature and the outdoors at an early age. He initially began
college with the goal of becoming a civil engineer but during
winter break of his first semester, he fortuitously met a fish
and game warden in the back country of Henry Coe State Park on a
back-packing trip and was instantly inspired to become one
himself. 
 
Inspiration led to a certainty of purpose and as soon as he got
back to school, he changed his major to Criminal Justice and
began pursuing a career as a fish and game warden for the state
of California. ​​John has a Master of Science degree from San
Jose State University in Criminal Justice Administration (1998),
a Bachelor of Science Degree (1990) from San Jose State
University in that same discipline and was inducted into SJSU’s
Justice Studies Alumni Hall of Fame in November 2018.
Hard work and diligence led John to a diverse career he held for
three decades. Beginning in 1992, he was hired as a warden for
the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and retired in
December of 2018 as a special operations lieutenant working
directly at the state level, co-developing and leading his
agency’s elite tactical unit the Marijuana Enforcement Team (MET)
and developed the CDFW’s first sniper unit aimed at combatting
the most environmentally damaging criminals working within
California and impacting the nation.  The MET has been
featured on Fox News, NBC Investigative Reports, CNN, Dan Rather
Reports and highlighted on the Outdoor Channel’s award-winning
Patriot Profiles: Life of Duty documentary series.​John's
induction into the San Jose State Justice Studies Hall of
FameThroughout his years of service he was a field training
officer for new cadets,  conducted statewide, national and
international training in firearms, defensive tactics, high risk
warrant and arrest tactics as well as basic and advanced sniper
training programs with special operations personnel from the
Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office.  John was awarded the
Governor’s Medal of Valor for lifesaving and leadership efforts
in 2007 and led allied agency dignitary protection details with
the US Secret Service during the Obama administration.


Today, Dennis and John discuss his time on the show "Wild
Justice" on NAT Geo where California Game Wardens -- 240 in all
-- patrol the state's 159,000 square miles, pursuing poachers,
polluters and drug runners around the clock while making sure
hunters and anglers follow the rules.
