Or traffic safety….
I still think the city should setup a a traffic/parking auxiliary police force funded by ticketing revenue……

They can't hire enough police so they definitely aren't gonna get people for auxiliary.

Auxiliary typically is a revenue maker. That’s like saying you can’t afford to have a paid job.

I didn't say the city can't afford them. Can't find people to hire.

Auxiliary is a less dangerous job, and no one should care if they partake. You might be right, but it’s not quite the same as a police officer job.

Parking agents get assaulted/threatened often and their agency is short already. Auxiliary enforcing traffic would be extremely risky.

Agreed. The other person is probably thinking of enforcing registration status or speeding/illegal turns on President Street or Boston St/Fort Ave type places.
Lol at some auxiliary officer doing that job in the rest of the city. The city would be paying a lot of claims for assault.

Parking enforcement was forced to lay off a few employees during Covid. They can hire in a way that police can’t.

Um. Based on what logic? Walking around printing tickets is far more attractive of a profession than being a fucking cop in Baltimore.. not even danger aspect just because there is such hate (justifiably) for police here.
What they really need to do is put traffic/non-emergency services etc. under an entirely seperate authority.

There should be a public safety department directly reporting to the mayor. In it would be bpd, parking/traffic authority, life/health/safety code enforcement division.
