Teresa Chambers is an American law enforcement officer and a former chief of the United States Park Police (USPP).

The U.S. Park Police administration and the force's union have said they fear that the stationary posts on the Mall have hurt anti-terrorism efforts, because fewer officers are able to patrol in the area.

Chambers said: My greatest fear is that harm or death will come to a visitor or employee at one of our parks, or that we're going to miss a key thing at one of our icons.

[3]During the time in which Chambers awaited her federal employee appeal, she worked as the police chief of Riverdale Park, Maryland.

On Tuesday, January 11, 2011 the Merit Systems Protection Board ordered the Park Police to reinstate Chambers within 20 days.
