• <br /> & <br /> r �N1 <br /> P <br /> September 9, 1994 <br /> Dear Parks Administrator: <br /> In an effort to improve law enforcement in park settings in <br /> Minnesota, an attempt is being made to form an organization of <br /> those persons whose major function is enforcement in parks. To <br /> assist in this process, we are contacting all park departments <br /> within the state to determine who, if anybody, has such <br /> responsibilities in their park system. <br /> It is our goal to form a statewide association of park law <br /> enforcement individuals similar to one that already exists on <br /> the national level (PLEA) and in a number of other states. <br /> Those associations memberships include park rangers, forest <br /> rangers, park police, park patrols, park security, game <br /> wardens, conservation officers, park and re,Creation board <br /> members, administrators, educators and others. They take <br /> advantage of their similar agency missions to combine resources <br /> for mutual training and informatiion sharing. Like those <br /> organizations, we plan to affiliate with our local recreation <br /> and parks association (MRPA) . <br /> We have a unique opportunity this year as Minneapolis is <br /> hosting the annual congress of our national organization (NRPA) <br /> and we anticipate. a number of national figures in park law <br /> enforcement to be in town as well. We are planning a get <br /> together for local and national park enforcement officials <br /> during the congress. <br /> If your parks have personnel assigned to perform exclusive or <br /> extensive duty on a regular or seasonal basis, would you please- <br /> do two things for us. First, would you please provide the <br /> information requested in the enclosed short survey. In <br /> addition, would you please provide those people with the <br /> information in the flyer asking them to join the Minnesota Park <br /> Law Enforcement Association (MNPLEA) and consider attending the <br /> get together in October. <br /> • <br /> Thank you for taking the time to respond to this request. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Sergeant J.
