February 1969 saw further reorganisation of the Birmingham Parks Rangers take place and, on the 16th June, the Birmingham Parks Patrol came into being. As a result of this all Parks Patrol Officers were attested as Park Constables under Section 72 of the Birmingham Corporation (Consolidation) Act 1883. The Patrol was 20 strong with some being former Birmingham Park Rangers. The emphasis of the job now changed to one of mobile patrolling. A new fleet of vans was purchased, Pye personal radios were issued and patrol dogs were introduced with training being provided by Birmingham City Police.

Changes took place to the uniform. The most obvious of which was the return to police blue but also the introduction of a maroon cap band and epaulette. This came about after consultation with the Chief Constable of Birmingham City Police, Mr Derrick Capper, who wished for Park Officers to be easily distinguishable from Birmingham City Police Officers, especially when they were in transit by road from park to park.

In October of 1969 the Chief Constable of Birmingham City Police wrote to the Birmingham Parks Patrol Chief Executive, Stanley Pitman, acknowledging that his Officers had the powers and privileges of Constables and that they were entitled to protection from assault under Section 51 of the Police Act 1964 and as such they were not committing an offence under Section 52 (2) by wearing police uniform.

In late 1969 an Officer and his dog detained five youths dumping a stolen motorcycle and kept them there until Birmingham City Police arrived.

Training at this time was an intensive one week course which included a period of instruction at the Birmingham City Police Tally Ho! Police Training Centre.

The City was split into three divisions, the south west being covered from Manor Farm Northfield, the south east from Canon Hill Park and the north from Birchfield Depot. The Parks Patrol patrolled over 300 parks, open spaces and cemeteries and 92 other Parks Department properties - an area of over 9500 acres. Each division had two Sergeants and a supervising officer with the rank of Inspector was based at the Parks Department Headquarters to organise patrolling. If a single park was highlighted as a trouble spot patrols would be concentrated there to address the problem. Patrolling was conducted 365 days per year from 3:00pm to 11:59pm.

In June of 1970 it was reported that the Spring Festival had been a big success and that this was in no small part due to the role played by the Parks Patrol and their dogs which had ensured the event was trouble free.

In June of 1986 the Parks Patrol alerted the local water authority to the illegal dumping of chemicals in Edgbaston Reservoir.

A new style cap badge was issued for the Parks Patrol but again the die hards retained their old Park Police badges. Senior officers wore an embroidered Coat of Arms cap badge with a smaller version worn on the epaulettes below their rank insignia.

By the middle of the 1980s the establishment was one Chief Inspector, three Inspectors, six Sergeants and fifty four Constables (two of whom were female).

In 1986 the enabling Act from 1883 was repealed and Officers were now attested under Section 77 Public Health Amendment Act 1907. In 1991 the Birmingham Parks Force was again renamed, this time to the "Birmingham Parks Ranger Patrol".
