The Nacogdoches Police Department’s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) will begin assisting the police department with enforcing violations of Handicap parking within the City of Nacogdoches starting later this month. The CERT Team is comprised of civilian non paid employees of the police department that have specialized training in assisting with emergency and non-emergency situations.
Based on the high number of complaints from the citizens of Nacogdoches in regards to persons illegally parking in handicap parking we have implemented this project utilizing the CERT Team in order to help those individuals that need the handicap parking spaces but are unable to find one due to someone illegally parking there. It is our hope this project will decrease the number of handicap parking violators through enforcement and educating the general public.
