The Westchester County Department of Public Safety is accepting applications for seasonal park rangers to patrol County parks next summer. Applications are due by February 23 and are available online at the Department of Public Safety’s web pages: http://publicsafety.westchestergov.com.
Uniformed park rangers work under the supervision of County Police officers to maintain a safe and enjoyable atmosphere in the County’s parks. They assist park users, provide information on park rules and procedures, help in searches for lost children, perform basic first aid on occasion and make regular security checks of buildings and facilities.
First-time park rangers are paid $17 hourly. Salaries are higher for those who have worked as a ranger for the County before.

Preference in hiring may be shown to Westchester residents. The application form may be found in the Employment: Seasonal Park Rangers section of the Department website.
Accepted candidates must complete a 162-hour peace officer training program at the Westchester County Police Academy. Park rangers are paid during this Academy training.
