Dear XXX

 

Car Park Warden

 

Thank you for your feedback.

 

Under our current Standard Operating Procedures, enforcement staff from our

Service Providers are required to be in full uniform while on duty. As

such, please let us have more details of your observation ie

date/time/place of non-uniformed enforcement staff issuing notice of

parking offences.

Cool.... but wonder if they can wear jackets?

 

always saw them wearing jackets and hiding at a corner while keying the summons...

[Mnphosis]

bloody idiots. i have said it so many times.

how many times have i caught them at night wearing dark blue or black jackets, walking around parked cars stealthily carrying what looked like a brick or an item somewhat like it, seemingly trying to break into some car or damage some car.

 

only upon a close 2-3 meters distance would i realise that they are these so called wardens.

 

didn't know their jobs so flexible. 1st can illegal park and have breakfast, now can wear own jacket and do duty.

 

wah, can those soldiers or police guarding installations wear their own nautica or nike jackets while on duty then? excuse is that its cold what.

[Ghostrider]

BS...I have seen them wear civilian outfits and drive normal plate vans...usual hangout is the URA carpark at Kallang Macs....

 

My friend kenna before...didn't realised that they were wardens until they slap the summon on my friend's car. Sneaky pricks !!

I believe Jacket/raincoat shld be allowed ba, but the uniform must be noticable inside, or special raincoat/jacket like the ones used in SPF.
