Parking enforcement officer
 | The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with the English-speaking world and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject. (April 2011) |
A parking enforcement officer (PEO),[1][2] traffic warden[1] (British English), parking inspector/parking officer[3] (Australia and New Zealand), or civil enforcement officer[1] is a member of a traffic control agency, local government, or police force who issues tickets for parking violations. The term parking attendant is sometimes considered a synonym[4] but sometimes used to refer to the different profession of parking lot attendant.[2]
In the United States, even where parking meters are no longer used, the term "meter maid" is often still used to refer to female PEOs.[5][6]
