Louisville Park Rangers will work alongside the Louisville Metro Police Department as sworn public safety officers with the authority to enforce both local and state laws.
The new department would operate under Louisville Parks and Recreation and primarily provide services to Metro Parks.
The ordinance, which passed 20-2 with two council members withholding their votes, updates legal language to allow park rangers access to state-mandated training and professional certification that previously was unavailable under the existing chapter.
