Hell those aren't real cops anyway .. just a bunch of vets with DOI vet 5 point status hired as Park Cops ... These are the guys that fought so we can be free ...

Five point veterans preference is granted to veterans who separated with an honorable discharge (or under honorable conditions) from the Armed Forces after more than 180 days of active duty, any part of which occurred after 31 January 1955, and before 15 October 1976, or after service during a war or in a campaign for which a campaign badge has been authorized (including those who served on active duty during the Gulf War).
Ten point veterans preference is granted to disabled veterans and veterans awarded the Purple Heart.
Non-disabled veterans who retire at or above the rank of major are not eligible for veterans preference.

What do Police Officers do?

The first and foremost responsibility is to prevent young people from kissing and dancing in or around public monuments ....

The USPP provide professional federal law enforcement and urban police services to designated areas within the National Park Service – primarily the Washington, D.C., New York, New York and San Francisco, California metropolitan areas.
In the Washington metropolitan area, the USPP provides primary law enforcement and protection at the Washington Monument, National Mall, Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, and other significant memorials, monuments and historic structures. The USPP is responsible for the protection and safety of millions of visitors to National Park Service areas of the Nation’s Capital. USPP officers frequently provide protection for the President of the United States and visiting foreign heads of state. Officers may be requested to provide assistance to other areas of the National Park System as well as other law enforcement agencies during emergencies. Due to the many demonstrations, First Amendment protests, and large celebrations held on National Park Service areas of the Nation’s Capital, the USPP is recognized for its ability to manage high profile demonstrations and large special events. The USPP has primary patrol responsibility on five federal parkways leading into and out of downtown Washington, DC as well as large urban parklands located throughout the city and the surrounding suburbs.

The New York Field Officeis responsible for providing law enforcement and protection services at the Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island Units of Gateway National Recreation Area (GNRA) as well as at the Statue of Liberty / Ellis Island National Historic Site. Headquartered on Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn, New York, the USPP has served at GNRA since its inception in 1974.

Fort Wadsworth National Historic Site on Staten Island became part of GNRA in 1994. The site also houses several Military and DOD agencies. There is a large military housing area that is jointly patrolled by the USPP and the U.S. Coast Guard. In 1995, the USPP assumed the responsibility for providing law enforcement services to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island National Historic Sites and the millions of tourists that visit these sites each year. Patrol Operations are divided with the Brooklyn-Queens District located on Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn and the Staten Island-Manhattan District office in Fort Wadsworth. There are Stations in Brooklyn, Staten Island, and Ellis Island. Riis Park in Rockaway, Queens and Great Kills Park in Staten Island are two heavily visited major beaches located within GNRA.
The San Francisco Field Office provides full law enforcement services to the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Fort Mason, and the Presidio, a former military base. The Presidio functions as a city within the city of San Francisco. Officers patrol National Park Service land at the base of the Golden Gate Bridge, the Marin Headlands, Stinson Beach, Muir Woods, Fort Funston, Ocean Beach, and Aquatic Park, adjacent to Fisherman’s Wharf.
