The Goal? Compliance, NOT Enforcement — Frontline Safety Part II

Episode 2: The Goal? Compliance, NOT Enforcement — Frontline Safety Part II

What does safety really mean for those on the frontline of parking enforcement?

In this second part of our deep dive into frontline safety, Captain Nick Nicholas—an IACP 40 Under 40 award recipient and longtime law enforcement leader—reflects on the risks parking professionals face every day and what it will take to create a true culture of safety.

With clarity and candor, Captain Nick traces the surprising parallels between parking enforcement and policing, making a strong case for better training, smarter systems, and support that lasts beyond the workday.

From conflict de-escalation to emotional resilience, Nick challenges industry leaders to take safety seriously, offering practical frameworks, real-world examples, and a call to empower the people doing the hardest work.
