Its more exciting than you think.State Park Peace Officers deal with homicides, rapes, burglaries, arson, suicides and many other serious situations. They get involved in difficult rescues and other high-risk public safety situations; park professionals have been seriously injured and even killed in the line of duty.Of course, as with any job that involves constant interaction with people, theres also humor. And with park rangers, theres the added dimension of engagement with the natural world and its oddities, which have to be explained to visitors.
