The Guard Force have
been under the direction of the U.S. Park Police since March, 1967. They
provide on-site facility
protection and fire detection services to areas administered by the National
Park Service under the jurisdictional responsibility of the United States
Park Police. These services are provided by the Guards in lieu of
police officers to maintain the most efficient and economical utilization
of resources available to the National Park Service. Further, the
Guards serve as a communication link to highly specialized emergency service
agencies to prevent loss of historical structures or other government properties. Many
sites are covered by the United States Park Police Guard Force within
the Washington Metropolitan area. |
