If you are not from the DC metro area most people don't know USPP or their mission. People don't understand all the federal land in the DC area and can't comprehend why the US Park Police even has a highway patrol unit/etc. I grew up in eastern PA and never heard of USPP until I was at FLETC and same with many of my classmates.
I have some friends at USPP (who love it) and even some of their relative think they are Park Rangers. That is what I meant by the name is misleading to some people, many don't consider DC to be a national "park" compared to something like Yellowstone/Denali/etc
