Show THE SAN JUAN RECORD Wednesday April 5, 1989 - Page 12 director, district manager, and state After selection, 40 hours of training are required annually. According to Ed Scherick, San Juan Resource Area manager, BLM law enforcement rangers have a wide variety of duties related to protection of public resources not only in the archaeology program, but also in our minerals, range, recre-tiowilderness and wood gathering programs. In addition to direct law enforcement, other duties include working with other agencies, helping in various emergency situations, search and rescue, hazard reduction, and protection of publicly owned resources and facilities. Only uniformed BLM employees with law enforcement training and responsibilities function as law enforcement rangers. Ragsdale feels that a rangers main job is in the area of public awareness and education, using enforcement only as a tool of last resort. Ragsdale says, The spectrum begins with public education at the scene of the violation. The ranger will point out that a violation has taken place and explain why such acts should not occur, and ask for compliance with the law. Experience has shown this usually takes care of more than 95 percent of the incidents. The next step, unless the offense is deliberate or extremely serious, would be a verbal or written warning. If a person persists in violations, the next level of enforcement will be to issue a citation under certain laws where permissible. Here, again, is an attempt to handle the offense with the least amount of inconvenience to the violator.
