Law Enforcement
Park Rangers are full-authority law enforcement officers while they are on State Park lands. Park Rangers attend either the Parks Law Enforcement Academy (PLEA) held each winter/spring at Skagit Valley Community College or the Basic Law Enforcement Academy (BLEA) at the Criminal Justice Training Center. Park Rangers are dispatched by the Washington State Patrol.

Famous quotes containing the word law:
“I had often stood on the banks of the Concord, watching the lapse of the current, an emblem of all progress, following the same law with the system, with time, and all that is made ... and at last I resolved to launch myself on its bosom and float whither it would bear me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
