Rangers patrol the public lands in a manner similar to that of park rangers and fish and game wardens. They offer a variety of services to the public, such as providing security at recreation sites and helping visitors with disabled vehicles. Rangers also assist special agents on specific investigations and carry out their enforcement duties by issuing warnings and citations and, if necessary, by making arrests.

They provide radio dispatch and other services that help protect the public and the land's natural and cultural resources. Law enforcement personnel perform a wide variety of tasks, including protecting cultural and historical sites from vandalism, locating and eradicating drug-manufacturing laboratories and marijuana fields, ensuring the humane treatment of wild horses and burros, guarding against the dumping of hazardous wastes and other pollutants, preventing theft and damage of timber, rare cactus plants, minerals, and other valuable publicly-owned resources.
