[HISTORY: Adopted by the City Council of the City of Camden 11-22-1989 by Ord. No.
MC-2496 (Ch. 77, Art. I, of the 1987 Code). Amendments
noted where applicable.]
There may be designated by the Director of the Department one
or more City employees to serve under the supervision of the Bureau
of Traffic Control within the Department of Police as parking enforcement
officers. Such person or persons shall have the powers of a law enforcement
officer only to the extent that they shall be empowered to issue summonses
and complaints for violations of nonmoving (parking) motor vehicle
violations as provided for under N.J.S.A. 39:5-3 and the rules governing
the courts of the State of New Jersey and violations of City ordinances.
Such persons shall not be regular members of the Department of Police,
nor shall they have any of the powers or authority of a regular or
special police officer, except as expressly granted herein, in connection
with nonmoving motor vehicle violations and ordinance violations.
Such persons may be designated on a temporary or permanent basis to
serve in the capacity of parking and ordinance violations officers
in addition to and in conjunction with any other position, title or
office held by said persons without additional compensation. In every
instance in which an employee acts in the capacity of a parking enforcement
officer hereunder, in addition to any other City employment, he shall
be subject to the supervision of the Police Bureau of Traffic Control
only insofar as his activities involve the discharge of the powers
and authority herein conferred.
A parking enforcement officer is not a special law enforcement
officer within the meaning of the Special Law Enforcement Officers
Act, P.L. 1985, c. 439 (N.J.S.A. 40A:14-146.8 et seq.) and is not
a member of the police force of the municipality in which he is employed
as a parking enforcement officer. No parking enforcement officer may
carry or use a firearm while on duty. A parking enforcement officer
is not eligible for membership in the Police and Firemen's Retirement
System established pursuant to P.L. 1944, c. 255 (N.J.S.A. 43:16A-1
et seq.).
A.Â
No person may be appointed as a parking enforcement officer unless,
at a minimum, the person:
(1)Â
Is a resident of this state during the term of appointment.
(2)Â
Is able to read, write and speak the English language well and intelligently.
(3)Â
Is of sound mind and in good health.
(4)Â
Is of good moral character.
(5)Â
Has not been convicted of any offense involving dishonesty or which
would make the person unfit to perform the duties of his office.
B.Â
An applicant for the position of parking enforcement officer appointed
pursuant to this chapter shall have fingerprints taken, which fingerprints
shall be filed with the Division of State Police and the Federal Bureau
of Investigation. Before any parking enforcement officer is appointed
pursuant to this chapter, the Chief of Police or other chief law enforcement
officer of the municipality shall ascertain the eligibility and qualifications
of the applicant and report these determinations to the Director designating
the employee for appointment as a parking enforcement officer.
The authority granted herein shall not be construed as a limitation on the authority granted to the Parking Authority of the City of Camden to appoint parking enforcement officers pursuant to the authority granted to it in § 7-69 of the City of Camden Code and N.J.S.A. 40:11A-1 et seq., the Parking Authority Law.
