Wrangell–St. Elias National Park and Preserve is a United States national park and national preserve managed by the National Park Service in south central Alaska.
 The park and preserve was established in 1980 by the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act.
 This protected area is included in an International Biosphere Reserve and is part of the Kluane/Wrangell–St. Elias/Glacier Bay/Tatshenshini-Alsek UNESCO World Heritage Site.
 The park and preserve form the largest area managed by the National Park Service in the United States by area with a total of 13175799 acre , an expanse that could encapsulate a total of six Yellowstone National Parks.
 The park includes a large portion of the Saint Elias Mountains, which include most of the highest peaks in the United States and Canada, yet are within 10 mi of tidewater, one of the highest reliefs in the world.
 Wrangell–St. Elias borders on Canada's Kluane National Park and Reserve to the east and approaches the U.S. Glacier Bay National Park to the south.
 The chief distinction between park and preserve lands is that sport hunting is prohibited in the park and permitted in the preserve.
 In addition, 9078675 acre of the park are designated as the largest single wilderness in the United States.
National Park Service Rangers are among the uniformed employees charged with protecting and preserving areas set aside in the National Park System by the United States Congress and/or the President of the United States.
 While all employees of the agency contribute to the National Park Service mission of preserving unimpaired the natural and cultural resources set aside by the American people for future generations, the term Park Ranger is traditionally used to describe all National Park Service employees who wear the uniform.
 Broadly speaking, all National Park Service rangers promote stewardship of the resources in their care - either voluntary stewardship via resource interpretation, or compliance with statute or regulation through law enforcement.
 These comprise the two main disciplines of the ranger profession in the National Park Service.

The United States Park Police (USPP) is one of the oldest uniformed federal law enforcement agencies in the United States.
 It functions as a full-service law enforcement agency with responsibilities and jurisdiction in those National Park Service areas primarily located in the Washington, D.C., San Francisco, and New York City areas and certain other government lands.
 The United States Park Police is one of the few full-service police departments in the federal government that possess both state and federal authority.
 In addition to performing the normal crime prevention, investigation, and apprehension functions of an urban police force, the Park Police are responsible for policing many of the famous monuments in the United States.
 The USPP shares law enforcement jurisdiction in all lands administered by the National Park Service with a force of National Park Service Rangers tasked with the same law enforcement powers and responsibilities.
 The agency also provides protection for the President, Secretary of the Interior, and visiting dignitaries.
 The Park Police is a unit of the National Park Service, which is a bureau of the Department of the Interior.

 California Governor Ronald Reagan named Mott as the Director of the California Park Service in 1967, where he remained until 1985, when President Reagan named him to head the U.S. National Park Service (NPS).
 Mott served at the Federal level until President George W. Bush nominated a replacement for him in 1987.
 He continued to work for the NPS as a consultant until his death in 1992.

William Jerome Whalen III (July 18, 1940 – September 28, 2006) was the 10th director of the United States National Park Service.
 He joined Park Service in 1965 as a Job Corps counselor and advanced to posts in National Capital Parks and Yosemite before becoming superintendent of Golden Gate National Recreation Area in 1972.
 His experience in the burgeoning urban parks field contributed to his appointment as director in July 1977, yet the most significant event of his tenure was President Jimmy Carter's proclamation of much Alaska wilderness as national monuments in 1978, doubling the area under NPS jurisdiction.
 Friction with park concessioners led to congressional calls for Whalen's removal in 1980, and Secretary of the Interior Cecil D. Andrus returned him to Golden Gate.
 He left the NPS in 1983.
