Hello
I have become interested in the National Park Services Ranger positions. I have done reasearch on them but there is very little information regarding exactly what they do. I know that for law enforcement positions you must get an NPS II certification which can be done at certain community colleges. However I wanted to know some more info on them and wanted to see if anyone could answer a few of my questions.
1. Is this position considered a law enforcement job? Are they armed? do they have arrest powers?
2. What does their training consist of?
3. Do other federal law enforcement or police agencies consider this as "law enforcement experience"? Would I be considered a "lateral" after a few years to other departments? Would this experience qualify me for future 1811 positions wthat have the "experience required" condition?
Thanks
