State Park Police???

[BertramBass]

Are they on duty once they climb into the patrol vehicle at home or once they get to the park? Do they normally work 8 or 10 hour shifts? Clock in and out? Time and a half for overtime? 2 to 3 weeks vacation? TIA

From when they leave the house

Why?

My Buddy's younger brother brought them up but said he couldn't find much info on them other than they now train and go to school with the game wardens. I told him I would ask on TBH and someone would have some 411...

Most of the start park police at LNRA are retired Rangers .

Based off of the trucks I saw heading north back in January they work a border beat too.

On Duty once you get in the truck, 10hr shifts, over time is compensated in leave at 1.5 per hour over. You do have to do shift with Operation Lone Star on the border. That OT is paid OT. You get more leave than you can use. Longer you’re with the department the more you get. I can probably answer any questions y’all have. Send me a PM and I’ll get you my phone number to pass along if you like.

Thank you all for the input. I shared the link a few posts above with him and I think it covered most of his questions but if not I'll shoot you a PM.

I went to the police academy with one. He didn't mind it. Said money wasn't great but he was already in the TPWD system.

Also, pay is now consistent with what Game Wardens make and there is a big push their legislative session to go schedule C which will probably happen.
