What this funds

Operation of the National Park System ' $2.1 million supports six officers plus associated equipment and training for the Secretary's protection detail. Funding will ensure the Secretary's security is adequately staffed and trained and will allow for improved intelligence gathering and capacity to detect, deter, and mitigate dangers, threats, or civil disobedience directed towards the Secretary. Additionally, it will permit the Special Protection Detail the opportunity to provide the proper personnel coverage while allowing for mandated and advanced training opportunities and reduce the amount of overtime needed to fulfill unit requirements. ' $103.4 million to support implementation of President Trump's Executive Order 14252 - Making the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful. Through his Executive Order, the President established the D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force, which is directed to surge law enforcement officers and enforce quality-of-life laws to protect against drug use, unpermitted demonstrations, vandalism, public intoxication, and to maximize immigration enforcement to apprehend and deport dangerous illegal aliens. To implement these bold policies, the National Park Service will hire by the end of FY 2026 at least 300 new sworn U.S. Park Police Officers in the D.C. area and provide the necessary training and equipment for these officers. Not only will this effort support the 300 new officers hired as of March 2026, but it will also support replacement or modernization of operational equipment such as vehicle and motorcycle fleets, IT infrastructure, and communications and computer equipment. Funds from the Working Families Tax Cut Act will support this surge in FY 2026, and recurring discretionary funds are necessary beginning in FY 2027. National Garden of American Heroes (+$600,000 / +3 FTE) - In support of Executive Order 14189 - Celebrating America's 250th Birthday, the NPS proposes new funding to support standing up operations at the National Garden of American Heroes. This funding will support park rangers to assist visitors and educate them about the Heroes, law enforcement to support the safety of the resources and our visitors, facility maintenance and operations, site leadership, and related costs. In the Law Enforcement and Protection subactivity, the FY 2027 budget includes a $0.6 million increase to support three additional law enforcement officers at the park site. Across the budget structure, NPS proposes a total of $1.50 million for the National Garden of American Heroes. Park Ranger Law Enforcement Training (+$6,400,000 / +5 FTE) - The NPS proposes to increase its capacity to hire, train and onboard needed law enforcement park rangers across the service. The NPS estimates that there are approximately 180 or more funded law enforcement ranger vacancies across parks, plus anticipated normal attrition of approximately 100 to 120 per year. Current program capacity to fill these vacancies is no more than 130 rangers per year. This funding would surge program capacity to achieve full LE ranger staffing by filling those vacancies and subsequently maintaining the NPS's throughput capacity. This funding would provide dedicated support for NPS LE instructors to support NPS-specific ranger training, the cost to send recruits to Land Management Police Training, an additional Ranger Specific Basic Training Program class, Field Training Officers specialty pay, and administrative costs associated with recruit classes such as medical and security clearances. visitor services and operations in the newly-renovated undercroft of the Lincoln Memorial.
