Park Safety and Enforcement provides for the safety of Park patrons and enforcement of ordinances pertaining to all Park land, waterways and facilities. This includes the coordination of related services of the Missouri Department of Conservation, Missouri State Water Patrol, Jackson County Sheriff's Department and other local Law Enforcement Agencies. There is a full time staff of Rangers who patrol the 21,000 acres of parkland - the 3rd largest county parks system in the United States - 365 days a year. Rangers patrol by vehicle, boat, ATV, bike and on foot.
