Parking Enforcement Services <br /> June 2, 2026 <br /> Page 2 <br /> The Santa Ana Police Department's (SAPD) Traffic Division provides parking <br /> enforcement services using full-time City parking enforcement personnel and contracted <br /> personnel. <br /> In 2012, the City of Santa Ana began contracting with a vendor to provide parking <br /> enforcement services to the City of Santa Ana. The contracted services include (1) full- <br /> time Supervisor, (6) full-time Ambassadors, and (1) part-time Parking Ambassador. The <br /> contracted personnel are responsible for enforcing all street sweeping routes throughout <br /> the city, while SAPD parking enforcement officers handle parking complaint calls for <br /> service. Parking Ambassadors supplement the enforcement of various municipal code <br /> parking violations, including assisting with nighttime permit parking enforcement, as well <br /> as parking and abandoned vehicle complaints. The program's proposed annual billable <br /> hours are 2,080 hours for a Parking Ambassador supervisor and 13,520 hours for <br /> Parking Ambassadors. <br /> LAZ has been providing parking enforcement services since 1981.

In California, they provide <br /> enforcement services to Newport Beach, Pomona, Burbank, Malibu, and the city of San <br /> Bruno. They have been providing services to the City of Santa Ana for eight years. <br /> A new feature to this new contract will be that LAZ Ambassadors will now be equipped <br /> with Body Worn Cameras (provided by LAZ) to capture their efforts and interactions with <br /> community members. SAPD will also continue to provide Parking Ambassadors and <br /> the SAPD Parking Control Officers with refresher Community Engagement Enforcement <br /> Training at the start of the contract. <br /> The agreement compensation section includes language that specifies that any <br /> extensions of the term will require amendments to the agreement to provide funding for <br /> the extended term and are subject to the approval by the City Council.
