The San Andreas State Park Rangers (SASPR), also known as simply San Andreas Park Rangers (SAPR) is a division within the San Andreas Parks Commission, appearing in Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
Description[]
The SASPR is based on the California State Park Peace Officers and their units can be seen patrolling various areas of Los Santos County and Blaine County such as the Vinewood Hills, Chiliad Mountain State Wilderness area, the Paleto State Forest, the Grand Senora Desert, and Raton Canyon.
They dress similarly to the Los Santos County Sheriff; they both wear green and/or brownish shirts and pants with a duty belt containing certain tools to help them perform their duties, such as a radio, handcuffs, and possibly bear mace or pepper spray. They can also be seen wearing campaign hats or baseball caps. They patrol the parks driving a Declasse Park Ranger.
The ranger ped models were updated for the enhanced versions of GTA V and GTA Online as part of the Los Santos Summer Special update, including the use of a new emblem and crest, reading "San Andreas State Park Ranger" as opposed to simply "Park Ranger". The eagle emblem was replaced with a 6-pointed star with the State of San Andreas flag and a "San Andreas State Parks" wordmark.

Trivia[]
- Rangers will chase and shoot at mountain lions if they spot them while on patrol.
- Park Rangers are law enforcement officers (like their real life State and Federal counterparts) which means that stealing their vehicles, assaulting them, or killing them will result in the same wanted level as would occur if the player had done the same to a police officer.
- Because they share some codes with the LSPD, one unit will spawn at Bolingbroke Penitentiary and will continue to patrol around its perimeter, even after dark.
- The old Park Ranger patch on the male Park Ranger is based on the patch used by the Columbia, Missouri Park Rangers. Indeed, that very patch still with 'Columbia, MO' on it can be found in the game [1]. The 'Columbia, MO' is absent on the female Park Ranger.
- When a player upsets a female Park Ranger, she will be represented as a red dot, similarly to any NPC that is hostile to the player. Yet she will behave like regular police officers. The player won't receive a wanted level, not even when she is harmed or killed.
- In fact, when the police are shooting at the player, she will draw out her weapon and attack the police. Or when she is attacking the player and they call the police, the officers will arrive and attack the female ranger, despite the fact that she is also a law enforcement officer. This is because the female Park Ranger is not coded as law enforcement.
- This behavior is similar in GTA IV, with the LCPD and Security Guards.
- In the Random Event Countryside Robbery, the deputies engaging the robbers are wearing Park Ranger uniforms.
- A Park Ranger can be seen telling Michael De Santa to stop smoking in a switch scene.
