First of all make yourself ready for the job of law enforcement. A Park ranger's jurisdiction is primarily parks so they work very closely to parks. Secondary jurisdiction for them is the town itself, which includes summoning people for trespassing in parks and speeding on the road. You get lots of power, and you have to handle it with responsibility, so you must be ready for that. You have to register for the test through civil service when you decide this is something for you. Then, you must submit registration form with fees before deadline. You will not be allowed to sit to take the test if you miss out the deadline. Civil service test results will come out after the six months, and you must score 70 to get passed in the examination. The list is published online and made available to the placement agencies. Canvas letters are sent out when hiring agencies receive the list. Usually, the letters are sent out to first 30 people in the list. If you are interested then reply to those canvasses and send it back.
Interviews are taken by the hiring agencies for the selected candidates. Whether you are men or women, the wearing of suits is recommended. A Physical agility test is taken after the interview. There is a medical exam, which includes drug test and eyes and ears exam. You can appeal it before a board of three doctors if you fail this medical exam. Physiological exam is taken after the medical exam is passed. If you fail in this exam, then you will be out of the civil services list. The first part of this exam is a written exam and the second part is an oral exam. If you fail this exam then you can appeal before the board. You are off of the civil service career path if you fail this exam. Your name is sent to the hiring agency if you pass all your tests. The top three people who passed the test are hired out by the agency.
After being hired you must attend the academy. You will be sent to the active police academy as soon as possible. You can become park ranger when you complete the graduation. If you get a higher score then there are more chances that you will be hired, so you must study for your test. In Suffolk County there are only two towns which hire park rangers, so don't raise your hopes. But if you have it in you then you can really achieve your goal. So, get ready for this ultimate opportunity of becoming a park ranger and enjoy your work.
