National Park Service Law Enforcement

The National Park Service Law Enforcement program is responsible for ensuring the safety and protection of visitors, staff, resources, and natural and cultural assets within U.S. national parks. Officers enforce laws, regulations, and policies related to park security, enforce criminal statutes, provide emergency response, and foster a positive experience for visitors. They collaborate with local, state, and federal agencies to uphold the integrity of the parks and preserve their resources for future generations. Their work combines law enforcement skills with environmental stewardship, ensuring parks remain safe, accessible, and well-preserved.
