In addition a ranger knows the park much better than an officer who could be dispatched to a problem from any number of locations to an unfamiliar park.
Allow those who work daily in the park to enforce the laws as necessary. Allow officers to continue their work on the street where they are needed the most

The Phoenix Police department is already worn thin...and with the current economic times is going to be even thinner. The criminals know this and will begin to use our parks for illegal activities.

My employer stripped us of our peace officer powers a few years back but now is in the process of restoring our peace officer powers, after realizing their plan wasn't working too well. Phoenix is making a mistake and if it is not corrected it WILL SOON SHOW.

Enforcement is required to keep our parks safe for the children, women and men that use the park legally and for recreation. Someone needs to protect the area from criminals- rangers have the knowledge and off road vehicles to manage these areas. Train them now!

After all they are citizens as well as Park Rangers. Basically lets support our Phoenix Park Rangers.

Park rangers enhance the safety of visitors to the parks; they must be given the tools and authority they need to do their job.

Give them back their handcuffs and their rights as park rangers.

Insted of going forward it seem's to be going backwards. The more they take away the more reason for them to lower our class. Iam pretty sure that management would'ent sit back and let sombody take food off their plate and not do any thing about it. this move by management does'ent look good after the public voted for the 3pi for safer and better parks.

Cox [Signature #90] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4502139?utm_medium=rss As a frequent user of the Phoenix Parks, I feel it is imperative that our park Rangers have their authority restored. Currently the parks are one of the most desirable traits of our fine city.

So how can they determined what is needed and what is not. Most jobs require you to have had prior experices and none of these people do. Take away Park Rangers power and we will all feel the affects of it. A person in a position just above park managers was quoted in saying," go out in the park and talk to the people and hand out stickers". (Sueno Park)
