Well, I'm NOT able to read minds like you.
Forest Service rangers ARE law enforcement.
County sheriff....my guess is that since public lands are a FEDERAL issue...not a county issue is why the Forest Service is in the mix with the BLM.
Come on....read my mind right now!!! I dare ya...come on...I double dog dare ya!!!! :wink:
No, Forest Service Rangers are not law enforcement. Neither are BLM Personnel.
In the Forest Service there are Rangers and there are Officers.
Officers are the actual law enforcement for the forest. They are basically the forest cops.
Rangers are the people who take groups on hikes and do all of the traditional park ranger duties.
USFS Ranger positions are usually college students are usually seasonal and have no law enforcement duties.
In the West, we understand these things. :wink:
