IN an effort to make parking enforcement more friendly to the public, the city of Lansing is requiring its enforcement officers to walk their routes rather than drive their cars. Can you guess the response of the enforcement officers. They are "concerned" that their security is threatened. The evil people of Lansing might jump em and beat em up.
Well, perhaps the city dad’s could consider another approach. If someone comes up, the officer could smile and say she was glad they arrived and are moving their car, but she will have to issue them a "warning." No harm no foul, but the city would track warnings and after a certain number, they would be issued a citation.
Everyone is happy. The person is happy, the parking enforcement people get a positive stroke, and the city gets good PR. No one is threatened, everyone a winner….
