Getting park rangers hired is great. The parks are increasingly being used for illegal activities. We still do not have a protocol for contacting Park Rangers outside of normal business hours of 9-5 M-F. How can they be effective without a way to dispatch calls for service? I hope the Council can create a solution to this.
I'm thrilled to see that the City is making progress in getting park ranger positions filled, especially in the urban park areas, however there is absolutely no way for citizens to contact park rangers outside of regular business hours (Mon - Fri). I would like to request the Parks Department to provide information to the Council on what would be required in order to provide a dispatch center for the park rangers that would be available during the same hours that park rangers are on duty.
