It is relatively common knowledge in law enforcement circles that park ranger is the most dangerous job for a myriad of reasons that you are clearly not interested in.
From the FBI figures in 2010 - keep in mind that there are probably around 1500 actual Park Rangers who do law enforcement functions - a very small number in comparison to other agencies such as FBI, Border Patrol, or DEA.
Overview
In 2010, a federal officer, employed by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, was killed in the line of duty. In addition, 1,885 federal law enforcement officers were assaulted. Of these officers, 351 were injured. By department:
The U.S. Capitol Police employed 10 of the officers who were assaulted, and 1 of these officers was injured.
In addition to the officer who was killed in the line of duty, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security also employed 1,002 of the federal officers who were assaulted, and 144 of these officers were injured.
The U.S. Department of the Interior employed 650 of the officers who were assaulted, and 130 of these officers were injured. *I believe this would be mostly Park Rangers*
The U.S. Department of Justice employed 208 of the officers who were assaulted, and 73 of these officers were injured.
The U.S. Department of the Treasury employed 9 of the officers who were assaulted, with 1 officer injured during an attack.
The U.S. Postal Inspection Service employed 6 of the officers who were assaulted in 2010; 2 of these officers were injured.

Federal law enforcement figures are the only ones broken down by identifiable departments. The numbers don’t seem to support your argument or opinion. They don’t break down the titles of non-federal officers assaulted or killed. I suspect if they did that game wardens would be rather high on the list. If you bothered to research the injury/death rate for search and rescue workers I believe those numbers would be high also. Park Rangers are not just regular cops... they also act as game wardens and search and rescue.
How many Park Rangers were killed in the line of duty at the hands of criminals in 2011?
Why are you evading the above question?
Once again, if being a park ranger is so dangerous, you should be able to list all those killed in the line of duty at the hands of criminals for 2011.
Stop evading and lets see the list.
Put up or shut up.
You're full crap.
You made this statement below:
>>"Park Rangers have one of the most dangerous jobs in law enforcement."<<
You were asked: How many Park Rangers were killed in the line of duty at the hands of criminals in 2011?
This is a simple legitimate question in response to your own statement.
Instead of directly responding to the question, you start babbling about all these other federal jobs in a glaring weak attempt to divert and evade.
Answer the GD question Mr. volunbeer.
