More police authority for Wyoming park officials
Wyoming expands peace-officer and law-enforcement status for qualified state-site superintendents, assistant superintendents, district managers, park rangers, and reserve park rangers. The law drops the full-time requirement and expressly includes district managers. These officials must meet Wyoming's officer training and certification standards. Their authority covers state parks, recreation areas, archaeological sites, and historic sites. They can also enforce felony laws after observing or discovering a felony while performing official duties. The law removes a restriction on their use of certain police powers beyond those sites. It took effect immediately upon becoming law.
