Metroparks Rangers

Metroparks are patrolled by a professional staff of park rangers who are certified Ohio peace officers. Members of the Volunteer Trail Patrol walk the parks in pairs to provide customer service to park visitors while being additional eyes and ears for the law enforcement officers. Park rangers have long embraced the concept of community policing– partnering with communities and park visitors to ensure everyone has a positive experience when visiting a Metropark.
