WASHINGTON — The U.S. Park Police for years did not record radio communications on audio channels it used to operate and coordinate between officers, a violation of federal and department policies, an independent watchdog said Wednesday.
In a report, the Interior Department’s inspector general said the Park Police did not record communications on two of the three primary radio channels the agency uses: its “admin” channel and its “special event” channel.
The Park Police did not record radio communications on the admin channel from October 2018 through June 2020 or on its special event channel between March 2018 and August 2020, according to the inspector general.
