Park Police complain of budget strain�

"Several veteran Park Police officers noted that Teresa Chambers, as police chief, raised warnings in December 2003. She was suspended and later fired for telling reporters that the agency had neither enough officers nor resources to provide adequate security in a post-September 11 world... the National Park Service told Congress in April 2000 that Park Police needed 806 officers. At the time, the agency had 638 officers, compared with 621 today"
