Letter to the Editor: Park rangers should be allowed to enforce laws
Share
In 2020, over three million people visited Maine state parks.
By statute, Maine Bureau of Parks can train and designate rangers to enforce state laws. Yet, the bureau does not allow them to detain, summons or arrest. Of the 41 who attended last year’s Ranger Academy, none have received the power to enforce laws.
Respected Rep. Thomas Skolfield has introduced L.D. 657, “An Act to Clarify the Law Enforcement Powers of the Bureau of Parks and Lands.” This resolve requires the bureau to designate rangers with the ability to protect visitors and the state’s natural resources.
