Mind your parking, it’s the law

By Intelligarde

Parking issues are of major concern to most businesses and properties who want to balance the convenience of providing places for shoppers, patrons, residents and visitors to park, while simultaneously ensuring a steady and orderly flow of traffic for commerce. For many years, Intelligarde has worked closely with the City of Toronto’s Parking enforcement unit administered through the Toronto Police Service to ensure the best practices for Facility and Property Managers citywide. Intelligarde comes equipped with a full service auditing program and will guide you through the approval process. Although the process may take months depending on the complexity of the signage, ownership and site specific obstacles, our valued clientele find that the short term pain of the process is well worth the benefit of having an effective and efficiently administered Parking Enforcement Program for their private property.

Intelligarde is a security partner capable of working closely with the members of your facility management team to maintain and streamline your parking enforcement needs through our Toronto Police certified MLEO (Municipal Law Enforcement Officer) Program. Intelligarde has a proud history of creating and maintaining dynamic response systems. Our Standard Operating Procedures address short notice and set-scheduled parking enforcement programming.

Each address that is under your management will need to go through an approval process conducted by Toronto Police Service – Parking Enforcement Unit along with our designated MLEO Manager. After authority for the initial inspection is given via a “PEN1” form, a full audit will be conducted to determine if current on-site signage is adequate. A report will be emailed to you after the initial inspections detailing the signage that needs to be amended/removed/added. A final inspection and approval will be completed once all deficiencies are rectified. Intelligarde will even assist in procuring a quote for signage making us an effective “all-in-one stop shop” for all of your parking enforcement needs.

Intelligarde’s services go beyond parking enforcement and our high profile vehicles and security staff will also be a great deterrent from criminal activity increasing perceptions of safety on each property hosting our MLEO program.
