Brothers and Sisters,

2015 was both an unusual year and a very average year for us. We had a budget increase but a paltry one.

We got to prepare to watch as the National Park Service squanders MILLIONS of dollars on a birthday party while we drive cars that should be con-demned, a radio system that belongs in a museum and a lack of man power on the street. We lost a few members to that seemingly unforeseeable thingcalled “retirement” and we lost quite a few more to that thing called ‘better paying jobs in better funded agencies”. These are all both common andunusual occurrences for the United States Park Police.

As 2016 is upon us, let us look forward to a year of ‘more of the same’.

The National Park Service will spend 140 million dollars to celebrate their birthday, meanwhile, we will drive over roads that are standard maintenance

for Iraq.

Director Jarvis wrote a book, skirted the ethics ofce in doing so, told investigators “I think I knew going into this there was a certain amount of risk. I’ve neverbeen afraid of a risk. . . . I’ve gotten my ass in tr ouble many, many, many times in the Park Service...”.

He received a reprimand.

Yet, if any of us come to work late, fail to write a report on time or speak to an ofcial in a harsh manner, we face suspension.

The Force will continue to work out of buildings that are too small, have frequent raw sewage backups, are cleaned in a manner consistent with a home-less shelter, and have little to no tangible security measures to protect us from a lone gunman. Meanwhile, the NPS will ‘sell access’ to the Statue ofLiberty, Alcatraz and East Potomac Park, as well as the National Mall, to commercial interests that generate prot for large interests outside the NPS, while the tax payer foots the bill.

While this is truly the greatest job in law enforcement, our caretakers at the NPS would rather you make no arrests, do nothing to truly protect the pub-lic and smile all along while you wait out your time until retirement. Just don’t write a book about it until you retire or until the ethics ofce clears it.; youmight be suspended if you do. Unless you’re the National Park Service Director.

BE SAFE!

Ian Glick, Chairman

There are three kinds of leaders: Those who make things happen, those who watch things happen

and those who wonder ‘what happened? Which one will you be?

“While this is truly the greatest jobin law enforcement, our caretakersat the NPS would rather you makeno arrests, do nothing to trulyprotect the public, and . . .”

United States Park Police

2 2 5 t h A nniversary1791 - 2016The United States Park Police traces its

beginning to when President Washington appointed therst “Commissioners,” in 1791 that would administer theDistrict of Columbia. In addition, to building the city the

“Commissioners” were responsible for the protection ofpublic property. Therefore, two watchmen were hired toprotect the public grounds and structures. These watch-men were the beginning of the United States Park Police.

Until 1827, there were only two watchmen. One atthe White House and one at the Capitol. In 1827, twoadditional watchmen were hired. In 1828, the controlof the Capitol watchmen was taken over by Congressand the two White House watchmen remained under thecontrol of the Executive Branch.

The Interior Department, created in 1849, became

responsible for the watchmen until 1867 when con-trol was transferred to the Chief Engineer of the Unit-ed States Army. Subsequently, control over the parksin the Capital became the responsibility of the NationalPark Service. For more history, click the sirens on theU. S. Park Police cruisers.

In approximately a month, the U. S. Park Police Avia-tion Unit will take possession of a newer Bell 412 helicopterthat will replace the aging Eagle 2 helicopter. Eagle 2 hasover 9,800 ight hours, which is approximately 4,800 hourspast DOI replacement regulations. The replacement Bell 412helicopter has approximately 2500 ight hours. The replace-ment helicopter is currently on its way to Summit Aviation inMiddletown, Delaware to be recongured for the U. S. ParkPolice mission. Additionally, we have received unconrmed

information that the National Park Service will be seekingappropriations in FY’ 2018 to purchase a new Bell 412 replace-ment aircraft for Eagle 1, that has over 7,000 ight hours. Theacquisition of this newer aircraft is a giant step forward forsafety, reliability and mission effectiveness.

The event that sparked National Park Service action onthis long ignored problem was a visit by CongresswomanBetty McCollum (D-MN) to the U. S. Park Police AviationUnit on January 11, 2016. During the visit CongresswomanMcCollum was briefed by the pilots on the needs of the unit.

Rep. McCollum made the following statement concerningthe newer aircraft’s arrival and expressing her strong supportfor U. S. Park Police ofcers:

“The U.S. Park Police’s Aviation Unit provides vital ser-vices for our nation’s capital region– criminal searches, med-ical evacuations, air support at public gatherings, escorts forthe President, and anti-terrorism missions. I will continue touse my position as Ranking Member on the Interior-Environ-ment Appropriations subcommittee to ensure the men andwomen of the USPP have the equipment they need to do their jobs and keep our residents and visitors safe. To that end,I’m pleased that the National Park Service is pursuing thepurchase of a newer helicopter.”

The USPP FOP is extremely grateful for the generoussupport of Congresswoman McCollum.

Imagine the reaction if construction workers were told not to wear helmets andsafety goggles because they made the construction site look dangerous. Peoplewould universally agree that this was nonsense. During a Donald Trump event atthe David L. Lawrence Convention Center on April 13, 2016, Pittsburgh Police of-cers were not allowed to wear even a helmet with a face shield, much less their fullriot safety gear, despite a track record of violence at previous events ( e.g. Arizona,Chicago and others). The Allegheny County Police, who were working the event

with the Pittsburgh Police, wore their riot safety gear.Evidently, Pittsburgh Police Chief Cameron McLay wouldn’t let the ofcers wear

their safety gear, because his boss thinks that it makes people “feel intimidated”.During a press conference, after the event, Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto stated, “Ifwe are going to have every public demonstration requiring riot gear and put peoplein a position where they feel intimidated we might as well just take the bill of rightsand throw it in the garbage.” The Mayor’s statement indicates that he believes riotgear causes riots and that police standing around in riot gear, so frightens peoplethat they abandon their 1st Amendment Rights. This belief makes you wonder ifthe Mayor and the Chief think that the Allegheny County Police started the troublebecause they wore their riot gear. The Mayor is clearly a believer in the Police Exec-utive Research Forum (PERF) notion that inanimate objects have the power to in-timidate or beguile an otherwise law-abiding citizen into lawlessness. PERF is neck

deep in the police militarization theory. Many departments have lost their armoredrescue vehicles, that save lives, because of the police militarization theory industry.If armored vehicles are evidence of militarization, than we ought to check into themilitarization of the banking and retail industries; their use armored vehicles totransport cash could be a danger to liberty.

April 13, 2016 - Pittsburgh Police without safety gear during Trump Event(Link to: Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Article by Karen Kane)

This line of thought is not new. In the 1970’s, there was a movement to put po-lice ofcers in blazers and slacks because uniforms were “confrontational”- the thesisbeing that a soft look “turneth away wrath”. This became known as the “MadisonModel” created by the Madison, WI Police Chief David Couper. These theories aboutuniforms and safety gear were nonsense then and they are nonsense now. ChiefCouper also believes that all police ofcers should be required to have a 4-year col-lege degree. His hypothesis is that the degree makes you more erudite and thereforeless likely to solve problems with brute force. Unfortunately, this notion which is ac-cepted by many as fact is not supported by any known evidence. A useful aspect ofthe “Madison Method” was its emphasis on trying to talk your way out of problems.The ability to talk your way out of situations is a critical law enforcement skill andits utility is undeniable. However, successful deescalation often involves that personscalculation of the ofcers ability to use force. Ofcers involved in “deescalation” con-versations have noticed that there appears to be a strong correlation between suc-cessful deescalations, and the number of ofcers standing behind the “deescalater”appearing eager to help. In the end, no matter how clever a talker you are eventuallyyou deal with a person who refuses to buy what your selling, and when things turnviolent it’s too late to put on your safety gear.

In 1977, U. S. Park Police ofcers were injured because of the riot gear caus-ing riots fallacy. During the Iranian Shah Demonstrations in Washington, DC wherethere were large Pro-Shah and Anti-Shah groups, the U. S. Park Police was orderedby Carter Administration ofcials, to not wear riot gear when they were handlingthe demonstrations, because it would incite violence. There was mounting evidenceprior to the start of the demonstrations that there would be crowd initiated violence.

The U. S. Park Police started the day in regular uniforms and with the Shah’s arrivalat the White House things quickly got very nasty. The demonstrators had mountedtheir signs on metal pipes and 2X4s. They tore off the signs and began using themas weapons (Note: This lead to the creation of regulations governing the size andcomposition of protest sign poles in Washington, DC.). Twenty-eight U. S Park Policeofcers were injured that day. Violence erupted even though the U. S. Park Policewere wearing their everyday “Soft” uniforms.

There is no credible evidence supporting the notion that police safety gear caus-es violence. This does not stop it from being spouted as gospel by the intellectualoligarchy, that rule the police policy industry solely by the power of their degrees. Infact, there is a mountain of evidence that disproves this theory. A careful review ofyoutube videos of police crowd control operations establishes that there are manypeople who are not afraid of the police, even when they are in riot gear deployingtear gas. The videos also show that when police, in “soft” uniforms or in riot gear,

form a line blocking an area, protesters almost always approach and demonstrateabout 2’- 3’ from the police line. In Washington, DC - SWAT ofcers deployed to theNational Mall during events - wearing full “hard” gear, carrying ries, and operatingan armored vehicle- are routinely asked by visitors if they can have their picturetaken with them. Police ofcers with extensive 1st Amendment event experience un-derstand that when groups with strongly held opposing views are expected, a fullystaffed and properly equipped detail, on scene before the groups arrive, is the mosteffective means to minimize conict.

Pittsburgh isn’t the only department currently suffering under this delusion. InCalifornia, ofcers (some on horses) arrived at a Trump related disturbance in base-ball caps. A review of Trump events, would lead a reasonable police ofcer to the

judgment that trouble is likely. Chiefs and elected ofcials that prevent ofcers fromwearing their safety equipment during these events, to pay homage to this danger-

ous group-think, are reckless. - P. Ward

Most people would be distracted by having a

cigarette thrown in their face. Many objects can be

used as weapons. Even if they aren’t effective

weapons, objects can be thrown as a distraction during

an assault. Therefore, an objectionably reasonable

police officer could lawfully order someone legallydetained to remove objects from their hands.

CAN AN OFFICER ORDER YOU TO STOP SMOKING

You wouldn’t go out without your vest, so don’t

forget safety glasses. Safety glasses are body armor for

the eyes. You need a pair for the bright of day and dark of

night.

You’ve probably been hit by debris during traffic stops.

That object could have damaged your eyesight. Safety

glasses offer protection from UV rays, strikes, ricochets,

spit and thrown liquids. Don’t be out of service because

you got something in your eye.

The U.S. Park Police Aviation Unit is a critical part of the public

safety system in the Washington D.C. Area. All three of the unit’s

helicopters exceed the Department of the Interior regulation that

mandates replacing emergency service helicopters after 5000 flight

hours. The acquisition of a newer replacement aircraft is welcome

progress, but to maintain the unit’s tradition of safety and service will

require commitment and persistance.
