What You'll Do As a Part-Time Park Police Officer, you will:

• Patrol parks, trails, facilities, and recreational areas.
• Promote public safety and enforce Park District ordinances and applicable laws.
• Respond to incidents, emergencies, and public concerns.
• Conduct investigations and prepare reports.
• Provide security for special events and community gatherings.
