We handle all the law enforcement in the park, and our work is similar to a small-town police officer. We also handle all of the emergency services including all the rescues and the medicals in the park. We do a little bit of everything.

The beauty with our job with the law enforcement is that it's never the same day twice. Each day brings something new.
