State parks to eliminate law enforcement rangers | Local & State | Macon.com

To cope with escalating budget cuts, Georgia State Parks plans to eliminate rangers’ law enforcement duties from all state parks over the next five years.

Homer Bryson, deputy commissioner of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources, said the state’s roughly 200 game wardens, who already assist with law enforcement at the parks, likely will take on more of that responsibility. They are assigned in work sections of five to six counties, he said.
