A parking enforcement officer, (also called a 'parking attendant ','traffic warden' or' 'parking inspector') is a member of a traffic control department or agency who issues tickets for parking violations. Where parking meters are used, they may be known as a 'meter attendant'. Terms that may be seen as derogative include 'meter maid' and 'meter Nazi".
