Ever wanted to be a U.S. Park Ranger? Are you a vet?

[John Hearne]

My agency is actively seeking out current serving LEOs who have vet status for Federal hiring. If this is you, keep an eye on USA Jobs around 11/7 for another announcement.

Always wanted to be a Park Ranger. Are these seasonal positions? Alas, I do not have LEO experience.

These are not seasonal positions. The future of the seasonal LE program with the NPS is tenuous at best.

Age cutoff @ 37?


Well nutz I'm 38

Well I doubt they pay enough either.

And I'm not a leo either.

But I wanted to be a park ranger when I was little

Normal Fed LEO positions have mandatory retirement at age 57, so that cut off let's them make 20 years.

There are exceptions....certain agencies and/or hiring shortages. Hence the question. (I'm not looking to move on, but others might be)

What if your a current LE fed?

I’m a LEO, but I’m a lot closer to the 57, than the 37, so I’m out.

The fact that NPS LE rangers top out at GS-9 standing in the driving rain in the twelfth hour of their shift shooting at a grizzly with a LL shotgun in hopes that it will turn away from a group of tourists who ignored the seventeen warnings to get back in their cars, while thousands of fed LEOs cruise to GS-13 and beyond (plus LEAP) with 8-5 (or is it 10-3?) office jobs is…a little strange.

I know several former NPS rangers who loved the job but couldn’t make sense of the pay vs an 1811 position.

So Dave Henry can't get his old job back, John?
