National Park Service Rangers

[NYRESCUE]

So I take it getting on a park like sandy hook or other NPS parks here in say PA, NY and NJ are hard to get into? I do know the closest school is in Hadley, MA for the NPS Level 2 I was just trying to get all the info I could before I move forward with a decision. Seems like a squared away spot if you can get it...but do not know too much about it.

Little info on them please...Authority, Jurisdiction, Carry and advancement. I do know they have to go to one of the 9 accredited schools for the training. Thanks again.

Authority is pretty broad as its contained in Title 36 (ask one of the USPP guys). Jurisdiction is all NPS owned lands. Yes they carry and have senior ranger slots.

In order to get hired you must meet minimum standards and compete against a ton of NPS level II certified folks who work season to season then get hired full time. Some parks that are easier to get hired by such as Thomas Edison house in West Orange NJ might waive the NPS level II if they dont get enough applications.

If you want to be an NPS ranger, you are better off getting the level II cert by paying for one of the schools.

They go to FLETC through LMPT program (Land Management Police Training).

Trying Searching for it, I have seen many threads on this topic.
