A few coffee cups and candy wrappers later he's back in the truck and off he goes.

The Corps of Engineers Rangers have no law enforcement authority. According to Bill Norman, the Engineer in Charge of the Canal.
Also, according to most of the cops I know, they're not even supposed to have those blue light bars on their trucks, as they have no law enforcement authority, and those lights are reserved for enforcement agencies.
Also, bird season opened on Saturday, and deer/archery on Monday, so the EPOs are also doing hunting enforcement now. I've still seen them showing a presence on the Canal all season. But no one I know has ever been asked for their NOAA registry card by any EPO.
