Park Ranger

The Park Rangers department exists to secure the safety of our attendees, the well-being of the hotel, and to enforce the rules of CA and Furry Fiesta throughout the convention area. Park Rangers may also act in a conflict mediation role between attendees if that conflict is creating an issue.

Park Rangers, like any role in the convention, are not to touch, restrain, detain, or physically pull a badge from any attendee. They also do not perform EMS functions. All in all, a Park Ranger staffer are the eyes and ears of the convention, take detailed reports, and properly escalate issues. This is a customer service role at TFF.
