National Park Service
Patrolling parks and wilderness, protecting wildlife and the environment, and keeping visitors safe.
Responsibilities
Five core areas of work.
Park and wilderness patrols
Regular presence across park territory to keep visitors and the land safe.
Wildlife enforcement
Enforcing wildlife laws and protecting animals and their habitats.
Environmental protection
Looking after natural resources and responding to environmental harm.
Search and rescue
Finding and helping people in trouble across park terrain.
Public safety
Visible, professional policing that protects everyone in the parks.
Where we operate
Operational jurisdictionThe United States National Park Service (USNPS) holds primary law enforcement jurisdiction across San Andreas' national parks, forests, protected lands, wilderness areas and designated recreational facilities, including roads within these territories.
Park Rangers also possess state-wide wildlife enforcement authority, allowing them to investigate poaching, illegal hunting, wildlife trafficking and related offences beyond park boundaries. This authority does not extend to unrestricted general policing outside designated Park Service jurisdiction.
