The NPS lost two rangers yesterday...and we couldn't be more proud

U.S. Park Police Chief Robert D. MacLean administers the oath |
The U.S. Park Police ceremony combines the graduation of its newest officers with promotions and presentation of awards. After hearing the descriptions of the heroic actions taken by the park police officers who were presented with awards, I feel confident that Officers Oh and Papacostas are going to fit right in. I'm looking forward to attending future ceremonies to see them presented with awards and promotions!

Temple Owls are everywhere. Officers Papacostas, Anthony and Oh. |
We're all still NPS family: Officer Papacostas, Northeast Region Chief Ranger Lorena Harris, and Officer Oh |
Truly the best part of my job is working with these students and then to watch them grow and to proudly celebrate their success. Congratulations Tim, Charles, Scott, and the newest members of the U.S. Park Police.
