Barnacle Parking Enters Pilot Program With the New York City Police Department

Intelligent parking enforcement device company helps the country’s largest police municipality solve parking compliance issues while improving officer safety

EDISON, N.J. —Barnacle Parking, the producer of The Barnacle®, an intelligent parking enforcement solution with motorist self-release capabilities, today announced its engagement with the New York City Police Department (NYPD). During a pilot program, the NYPD will assess the Barnacle’s ability to improve parking management and promote fairness and efficiency for all New York City residents and visitors.

Initially, the NYPD will utilize the Barnacle in a preliminary capacity, primarily as a manual immobilization tool. As the program evolves, Barnacle Parking hopes to transition to a system where motorists can self-release and make payments directly through Barnacle. This shift promises to boost efficiency for both motorists and enforcement officers, streamlining the entire process.

“Due to its high-profile location in New York City, the largest city and media center in the U.S., parking issues are magnified for the NYPD,” explains Colin J. Heffron Sr., Executive Chairman at Barnacle Parking. “As an intelligent parking enforcement solution that provides real-time resolution for motorists, residents and visitors alike will appreciate the fair and speedy nature of The Barnacle.”

Barnacle Parking provides clients with best practices and rules of engagement that encourage “motorist first” operations. Rules of engagement include a grace period for offenders, proper signage, and a reasonable fine amount among other fair practices. Barnacle continues to work with customers and local law enforcement to understand industry changes and update these best practices in real-time.

Barnacle® Parking Produces, Donates Critical Face Shields to Frontline Workers Across the Country

Parking-Enforcement Specialist Shifts Gears to Help Local, State Employees Nationwide

NEW YORK (June 18, 2020) – As the nation copes with the COVID-19 pandemic, Barnacle®, a leading parking-enforcement solutions provider, has shifted its focus to aid healthcare and essential workers in 19 states who need personal protective equipment (PPE) while executing their jobs in public.

Widely known for replacing booting and towing with its bright yellow windshield blocker, Barnacle is now creating reusable face shields with the same materials it uses to manufacture cutting-edge immobilization devices. The company has donated face shields to dozens of local and state governments, healthcare facilities, and essential workforces across the country. More than 700 shields have been shipped to date with an estimated retail value exceeding $63,000.

“High-quality PPE is at a premium in this country, especially among healthcare professionals and first responders tirelessly working to help those on the frontline of COVID-19,” said Barnacle Chairman Colin Heffron. “From Los Angeles to New York, and Las Vegas to West Palm Beach, we heard about dire circumstances and the critical need for PPE. We quickly realized we had the capabilities to make a significant contribution to the safety of many heroic frontline workers.”

Barnacle swiftly implemented production measures to meet COVID-19 social distancing requirements, mobilized team members to work in specialized shifts and produced and supplied the face shields to cities, hospitals and other frontline entities. The shields are extremely durable, adjustable and designed for easy sanitization and multi-use.

Heffron says Barnacle will continue to produce and donate face shields as long as critical demand remains among healthcare facilities and first responders. Organizations interested in more information or securing Barnacle face shields are encouraged to reach out to info@barnacleparking.com.
