  • Park Ranger Program Annual Report Page 2 of 8
    PSFSS COMMITTEE: 3/16/17 ITEM: (d) 3 CITY OF SAN IPSE Memorandum CAPITAL OF SILICON VALLEY TO: PUBLIC SAFETY, FINANCE, AND FROM: Angel Rios, Jr. STRATEGIC SUPPORT COMMITTEE SUBJECT: PARK RANGER PROGRAM DATE: March 8, 2017 ANNUAL REPORT Approved Date .5 A - n RECOMMENDATION Accept the 2016 Annual Report on the Park Ranger Program. BACKGROUND The City of San Jose's Park Ranger Program is an integral part of the Parks, Recreation and Neighborhood Services Department (PRNS). Its mission is to provide a safe, enjoyable park experience by protecting and educating the public, providing recreational opportunities, and protecting, preserving, and enhancing the natural and cultural resources of the City's parks, trails and open spaces. The Park Ranger Program has its roots in resource and visitor protection. The City established the Park Ranger Unit in 1972 after a period in the 1960's and early 1970's when San Jose's park system expanded rapidly and crime and vandalism were deterring residents from using parks. A community task force convened to address crime issues at Alum Rock Park and other neighborhood parks and recommended adding Park Rangers. Originally, Park Rangers were Auxiliary Police Officers, appointed by the Chief of Police and granted Peace Officer powers while on duty. The Park Ranger Unit provided law enforcement services along with land management and visitor services. Park Rangers underwent police academy training, and the Police Department provided them with equipment and vehicles for their work. By the late 1970's, the San Jose Police Department created a Parks Enforcement Unit to provide a higher level of enforcement (rather than arming San Jose's Park Rangers).
