volunteer auxilery police for parking enforcement in Munhall

[munhallfire4]

I am thinking of starting a petition for an auxillary police officer to enforcr the parking laws. Her are my ideas, please feal free to comment which I know someone will.
1: Volunteer Auxillary Police Officer (VAPO) will agree to use own vehicle for purpose of traveling from one assignment to another.

2: The VAPO will have no special rights other than the abilty to right tickets for parking infractions and to stop traffic for special occations.

3: The VAPO's will help monitor parking at the local schools to prevent unauthorized parking and to enforce no parking in fire lanes.

4: The VAPO will monitor parking on Main St. and other locations throughout the boro.

5: When needed the VAPO will assist the policy in traffic control.

I thought of this while observing the dangerous driving in and around school zones. Fire lanes being blocked and people parking right under NO PARKING signs posted at eye level. People cutting across traffic and parking on the wrong side of Main St. Side streets are one thing, but on busy streets it is down right dangerous. I will even volunteer my own time to do this "dirty" job and become the most hated man in Munhall Boro.

We already have fire police who help with traffic that do a great job. Also, where would these volunteer get their authority to write tickets. Police see these infractions (some of them are guilty themselves - come up to the Garden and see) and do nothing. More enforcement not more people.
