		Law enforcement services in rural, wilderness, and even some urban units are provided by specially trained and certified National Park Rangers.

	FANG v. UNITED STATES, NATIONAL PARK EMT RESCUE
		The United States moved for summary judgment, contending that the discretionary function exception to the FTCA deprived the court of subject matter jurisdiction over the claims asserted against it.
		On the other hand, the United States is not immune from claims which challenge the actual administration of medical care by its employees when the claims do not concern actions which are the product of judgment driven by the consideration of competing policy-based choices.
		Having found that Fang's spine stabilization and CPR claims against the United States were not precluded by the discretionary function exception, the appeals court reversed the summary judgment in favor of the United States and remanded (i.e., sent back) these two claims to the district court for further proceedings.

	United States v. Thomas, Cr. No. 87-0348
		The way in which the Park Service promulgated the rule under which appellant was convicted precludes the Park Service from relying on one of the APA's express exceptions.
		In essence, the Park Service is claiming that an agency can grant itself a valid exemption to the APA for all future regulations, and be free of APA's troublesome rulemaking procedures forever after, simply by announcing its independence in a general rule.
		When the Park Service adopted a similarly site-specific, albeit stricter, regulation prohibiting storage of property on the sidewalks surrounding the White House, the Park Service adopted it as a substantive rule requiring notice and comment, not as an interpretive rule.

	Lowry shows that politics, parks don't mix
		He spent two summers hiking in parks throughout the United States and Canada and soon noticed sharp differences in the morale of park service employees in the two countries.
		The Canadian Park Service now has a decentralized structure in which employees are responsible for managing the parks from the ground level -- a system that holds the potential to launch a new era of protection for its sprawling park system.
		He also is excited about a new park program in Costa Rica that is attempting to consolidate scattered park holdings into larger blocks representing regional ecosystems and to include a sample of each of the country's ecosystems in its national park system.

	Park Service Corruption
		The pitiable United States National Park Service rangers, their superiors and minions, are a uniquely malicious and petty lot, and therefore a laughable lot offering a superlative learning vehicle illuminating how and why the human mind is damaged by the acquisition of any institutional power.
		The Park Service chaps and the Americans cannot accurately answer those questions, as their actions prove, and thus are vulnerable to the inherent results.
		The National Park Service is a revenue-producing agency, a tax man. The Park minions exist to create the revenue to pay the salaries of their armed police who are there to arrest the people who do not pay them.

		On the merits, the Respondent argues that the Judge correctly determined that the documents: (1) were not necessary for full and proper discussion, understanding and negotiation of subjects within the scope of collective bargaining under section 7114(b)(4)(B); and (2) constituted intra-management guidance relating to collective bargaining, which is exempted from disclosure under section 7114(b)(4)(C).
		does not exempt from disclosure guidance, advice, or counsel to management officials concerning the conditions of employment of a bargaining unit employee, for example: the personnel, policies and practices and other matters affecting the employee's working conditions that are not specifically related to the collective bargaining process.
		Rather, the recommendations of the managers and supervisors were made prior to the filing of the grievances, when management was considering whether to take disciplinary action against two bargaining unit employees and whether to grant or deny the sick leave requests of two other bargaining unit employees.

	CWIS -- United States National Park Service
		The mission of the U.S. National Park Service (NPS) is to conserve the scenery, the natural and historic objects, and the wildlife in United States' national parks, and to provide for the public's enjoyment of these features in a manner that will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.

	United States Park Police
		The United States Park Police (USPP), a division of the National Park Service, which is in turn part of the Department of the Interior, operates networks of surveillance cameras at the White House, the FDR Memorial, the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the Jefferson Memorial and the Vietnam Veterans' War Memorial.
		For more than a year after these cameras were first installed, the USPP operated them according to a series of "draft" policy statements, that is, by making their guidelines up as they went along.
		In other words, by way of a loophole, the National Parks Service has been "allowed" to write, administer and supervise its video surveillance policies on its own, with no oversight whatsoever.

		The platform of the Green Party of the United States includes support for reparations for slavery and calls for the Confederate flag to be removed from all public buildings.

		Phoenix, Arizona — Bowing to pressure from the American Civil Liberties Union, or ACLU, United States Park officials have removed three bronze plaques bearing Scripture passages at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.
		The ACLU had merely written a letter to park officials expressing concern that the religious messages violated the U.S. Constitution.
		The plaques “had been very favorably protected by park services because from time to time, they had someone that complained about it but there had always been a positive relationship and (park officials) wanted to keep them up.”
