The City of Parker established the "Let's Talk Parker" online engagement forum to encourage participation from the community. The Parker Police Department is using the forum to ask residents for help identifying traffic issues. Residents use Bang the Table's EngagementHQ Places tool to request increased traffic enforcement efforts at specific locations by placing virtual pins on an interactive map. This feedback from residents enhances ongoing traffic enforcement efforts and community safety.

Users residents can drop color-coded pinpoints onto the map that help officers know where they should ramp up enforcement.
Project Succeeded
Within six weeks of launching the Traffic Enforcement Map, nearly 300 pins were placed on the map compared to the average of 10-12 forms submitted each month. The community feedback led to the creation of "Education and Enforcement Days" which involve increased policing in targeted areas identified by residents such as installing digital speed signs where residents complained about excessive speeding.
