Non-Core Policing – A Case Study


City of London

Challenges
In 1988, London’s municipal by-law enforcement and parking department was challenged toreduce the escalating costs associated with its operation – human resources, departmentalvehicle maintenance, training, etc. At the same time, they were asked to increase revenuefrom the city’s parking lots and meters and accommodate a growing population withoutcompromising service.

Commissionaires already had a long-standing history of providing security guards to the Cityand were well-positioned to assist the by-law enforcement detachment.
