  • 2019 NCBJ Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. - Early Ideas Regarding Extracurricular Activities for Attendees and Guests to Consider
    2019 NCBJ Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. - Early Ideas Regarding Extracurricular Activities for Attendees and Guests to Consider There are so many things to do when visiting D.C., many for free, and here are a few you may have not done before. They may make it worthwhile to come to D.C. early or to stay to the end of the weekend. Getting to the Sites: • D.C. Sites and the Pentagon: Metro is a way around town. The hotel is four minutes from the Metro’s Mt. Vernon Square/7th St.-Convention Center Station. Using Metro or walking, or a combination of the two (or a taxi cab) most D.C. sites and the Pentagon are within 30 minutes or less from the hotel.1 Googlemaps can help you find the relevant Metro line to use. Circulator buses, running every 10 minutes, are an inexpensive way to travel to and around popular destinations. Routes include: the Georgetown-Union Station route (with a stop at 9th and New York Avenue, NW, a block from the hotel); and the National Mall route starting at nearby Union Station. • The Mall in particular. Many sites are on or near the Mall, a five-minute cab ride or 17-minute walk from the hotel going straight down 9th Street. See map of Mall. However, the Mall is huge: the Mall museums discussed start at 3d Street and end at 14th Street, and from 3d Street to 14th Street is an 18-minute walk; and the monuments on the Mall are located beyond 14th Street, ending at the Lincoln Memorial at 23d Street.

  • History of US Park Police
    National Park Service: History of U.S. Park Police THE UNITED STATES Home PARK POLICE Origins A HISTORY Early Personalities and by Barry Mackintosh Problems History Division Upgrading the Force National Park Service Defending the Force Department of the Interior Washington, D.C. The Force in Turmoil 1989 The Force Matures Appendix The United States Park Police is a unique organization within the National Park Service. It is the oldest NPS component, predating its Links adoptive parent by half a century (or more, some would argue). Its personnel wear distinctive uniforms, perform specialized functions, and are regularly assigned to a small minority of national parklands. Most NPS employees are probably unfamiliar with the Park Police and may well wonder why the organization exists. From the demanding nature of their duties and the evident public service they perform, Park Police personnel surely know why the organization exists; but few of them may know how it began and how far it has come to reach its present elite status. This short history is intended to acquaint NPS employees in general and Park Police personnel in particular with its background and evolution. If it helps them and others interested in the force to better understand and appreciate this special NPS unit, it will have served its purpose.
