Department of the Interior officials said actions to bolster Park Police presence in Washington, D.C., have 'restored pride and safety' to the capital, according to an 'Inside Interior' segment.

An on-air commenter added praise for the Park Police: "They're proud of it. They've been there for a long time. Their families oftentimes grow into the roles. They love the country. They love this area." (Transcript attribution: Unidentified Speaker.)
Doug, who was invited on by the presenter, said the March 27 executive order was making D.C. "safe and beautiful again," and described Park Police activity "in their vehicles, on foot, or on the mounted police that you see around the Nashville Mall," adding that rank-and-file officers "thank you."
