Attendant Patrols

At Parkshield Group, we offer comprehensive Attendant-Based Patrol services to assist landowners in effectively managing their private car parks. Our approach ensures compliance with current legislation and promotes optimal use of parking spaces.

Attendant-Based Patrols

Our trained attendants conduct regular patrols of your parking areas, monitoring vehicle compliance with established parking rules. They are equipped to identify and address breaches promptly, issuing Parking Charge Notices (PCNs) and/or Warnings when necessary. This proactive presence not only deters unauthorized parking but also enhances the overall user experience by providing assistance and information to motorists.

Training for Your Staff

Recognizing that some landowners prefer to manage parking enforcement internally, we offer specialized training programs for your personnel, along with access to our mobile app and printers for capturing contraventions and producing printed PCNs for issuing to vehicles.

Our training covers essential aspects such as:

  • Understanding Parking Legislation: Ensuring your staff are well-versed in the legal frameworks governing private land parking enforcement.
  • Identifying Breaches: Teaching staff to accurately identify and document parking violations.
  • Issuing PCNs: Guiding staff through the correct procedures for issuing Parking Charge Notices in compliance with legal standards.
  • Conflict Management: Equipping staff with skills to handle confrontations professionally and safely.

Our training aligns with national occupational standards, such as those outlined by Asset Skills, ensuring your team operates within the bounds of current legislation.

This approach allows your own staff to issue Parking Charge Notices (PCNs) directly, providing greater control over your parking facilities.

Training and Accreditation

We provide thorough training to your designated personnel, ensuring they are well-versed in the legal frameworks governing parking enforcement on private land. This training covers essential aspects such as identifying parking violations, correctly issuing PCNs, and handling potential confrontations professionally. Upon completion, your staff will be equipped to enforce parking regulations confidently and effectively.

To maintain industry standards, our Self-Ticketing programme aligns with the requirements set by the International Parking Community (IPC). We assist in obtaining the necessary approvals, ensuring your operations comply with the IPC’s Code of Practice.

Tools and Support

We supply all the necessary tools to facilitate efficient enforcement, including:

  • Mobile Application: A user-friendly app that connects seamlessly to our platform, enabling your staff to issue PCNs digitally.
  • Printing Equipment: Portable printers, paper, and PCN envelopes for affixing notices to vehicles when required.

This comprehensive toolkit ensures your team can manage parking enforcement effectively, maintaining the integrity and efficiency of your parking operations.

Benefits of Self-Ticketing

  • Autonomy: Empower your staff to manage parking enforcement directly, providing immediate response to violations.
  • Cost-Effectiveness: Reduce reliance on external enforcement services, leading to potential cost savings.
  • Enhanced Control: Maintain oversight of enforcement activities, ensuring they align with your specific site requirements and policies.

By implementing our Self-Ticketing programme, you can take proactive control of your parking management, ensuring compliance with relevant legislation while optimising the use of your parking facilities.

Permit Parking

At Parkshield Group, our digital permit platform empowers landowners to efficiently manage authorised parking and ensures seamless enforcement through integration with Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology.

Efficient Permit Management

Our platform allows landowners to issue and manage digital permits effortlessly. Authorised users can register vehicle registrations online, receiving virtual permits linked directly to their vehicle registration numbers. This system eliminates the need for physical permits, reducing administrative tasks and potential misuse.

Blue Badge Management

Our Permit system can be used to manage Blue Badge registrations, allowing landowners to record Blue Badges against vehicle registrations to enable free parking for disabled motorists or visitors wherever applicable.

Seamless ANPR Integration

By integrating with ANPR systems, our platform automates the monitoring of parking areas. Cameras capture vehicle registration plates upon entry and exit, cross-referencing them with the digital permit database in real-time. This ensures that only vehicles with valid permits are granted free parking, enhancing security and compliance.

Automated Enforcement of Expired Permits

When a vehicle with an expired permit is detected, the system automatically flags the parking session. This integration streamlines the enforcement process, reducing the reliance on manual patrols and minimising human error.

Benefits to Landowners

  • Enhanced Control: Maintain real-time oversight of authorised vehicles within your parking facilities.
  • Operational Efficiency: Automated monitoring and enforcement reduce the need for manual intervention, lowering operational costs.
  • Revenue Optimisation: Ensuring that only permitted vehicles utilise your parking spaces maximises revenue potential.

By adopting our digital permit platform integrated with ANPR technology, landowners can achieve a streamlined, efficient, and effective parking management system that aligns with current legislative frameworks.

ANPR

At Parkshield Group, we leverage Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology to enhance the management of private car parks, ensuring efficient operations and maximised revenue for landowners.

How ANPR Works

ANPR systems utilise cameras equipped with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to capture and decode vehicle registration plates as they enter and exit the car park. This process records the exact time of entry and exit for each vehicle, providing precise data on parking durations along with evidence for prosecution if required.

Automated Enforcement Actions

By integrating ANPR with our enforcement protocols, we automate the identification of parking violations, such as overstaying permitted times or unauthorized parking. When a breach is detected, the system can automatically issue Parking Charge Notices (PCNs) to the registered vehicle owners, ensuring swift and consistent enforcement.

Maximizing Revenue

The data collected through ANPR allows for dynamic pricing strategies, adjusting parking fees based on demand, peak hours, or special events. This flexibility ensures optimal space utilization and increased revenue. Additionally, automated enforcement reduces the incidence of unpaid parking fees, further enhancing profitability.

Optimizing Enforcement Efficiency

ANPR streamlines the enforcement process by providing real-time monitoring and instant detection of violations. This reduces the need for manual patrols, lowers operational costs, and ensures that enforcement is both fair and consistent.

By implementing ANPR technology, Parkshield Group offers landowners a sophisticated solution to manage their car parks effectively, ensuring legal compliance, optimized space usage, and maximized revenue.
