Authorized under the landmark Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA), BLM law enforcement has spent half a century safeguarding America’s public lands, natural and cultural resources, and the millions of visitors who explore them every year.

From protecting ancient archaeological sites and wildlife habitats to conducting search-and-rescue operations across vast public landscapes, BLM rangers and special agents serve on the front lines of conservation and public safety.
