[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The National Park Service made history this week after announcing that an African American woman will lead the United States Park Police for the first time in over two centuries.

On Thursday, Pamela A. Smith was announced as the new Chief of the United States Park Police, according to a press release. The USSP is the oldest federal law enforcement agency in the country.

Smith, a 23-year-veteran of the USPP, will begin her new role on Sunday.

As the new Chief of USSP, Smith will lead the 560-member workforce which serves to protect the "public, parks and the nation's most iconic landmarks in the Washington, D.C., New York City and San Francisco metropolitan areas."

1. Finally

That’s wonderful. Finally a modicum of diversity in law enforcement. If this could only gain traction throughout agencies nationwide, we could finally think about turning things around.

2. Sorry. The oldest federal law enforcement agency is

the United States Postal Inspection Service, founded August 7, 1775.

The U.S. National Park Service was founded in 1916.

MSN should have fact-checked.
