Parking Enforcement
BKS Security
Nationwide Parking Enforcement Services
Parking is the complaint your office hears most and the one most likely to end in a legal problem. Residents blocked in, customers parked over by commuters, contractors in fire lanes — and then a tow that somebody disputes. BKS Security handles the enforcement and the documentation behind it for properties nationwide.
Enforcement Is a Paper Trail
Every enforcement action on private property can be challenged afterward, and the challenge is decided on the record — what the signs said, what notice was given, who authorized what, and whether anyone photographed the vehicle where it sat. Build that record every time and disputes end quickly. Skip it once and a $150 tow becomes a complaint to the Public Utilities Commission with your name attached.
Based on Colorado’s Towing Bill of Rights (HB22-1314, as amended). General information only, not legal advice — confirm current requirements with the PUC and your own counsel.
Enforcement Services
Permit & Credential Checks
Scheduled and irregular sweeps verifying permits, decals and assigned spaces against your current resident or tenant list.
Photographed Violations
Time-stamped photographs of the vehicle where it sat, the plate, and the sign or marking it violated. This is the part that settles arguments later.
Warnings & Notices
Graduated enforcement that starts with a notice on the windshield. Most repeat problems stop here, which is cheaper for everyone and generates no complaints.
Fire Lane & Accessibility
The violations that carry real liability — blocked fire lanes, hydrants and accessible spaces — monitored and documented as a priority.
Lot Audits & Occupancy
Counts of who is actually parking where and when, so you can tell whether you have an enforcement problem or simply too few spaces.
Tow Coordination
When removal is genuinely warranted, we assemble the documentation and coordinate with the permitted towing carrier you have authorized.
Towing itself is a regulated activity carried out by a PUC-permitted towing carrier, and the authorization for any given tow has to come from you as the property owner, leaseholder or association. Our job is the enforcement and the record behind it — the part that determines whether a challenged tow holds up.
Properties We Enforce For
Apartments & HOAs
Assigned spaces, guest parking and the neighbor disputes that follow. Residential property carries the strictest notice rules, so the process matters most here.
Retail & Restaurants
Customer spaces occupied by all-day commuters or neighboring businesses, during the hours you actually need the turnover.
Office & Medical
Reserved spaces, patient parking and accessible spaces that have to stay available regardless of who is running late.
Events & Venues
Temporary enforcement for event parking and surrounding lots, ending when the event does.
Mixed-Use & Garages
Shared structures where residential, retail and office users all believe the same spaces are theirs.
Paired With Wider Coverage
Enforcement often runs alongside patrol units or monitored cameras, so one visit covers the lot and the property.
How Enforcement Gets Set Up
Audit the signage first
Colorado sets requirements for the signs that make enforcement possible at all — what they say, where they sit and how high they are. We look at yours before quoting, because enforcement built on inadequate signage is enforcement that falls apart on challenge.
Write the rules down
Which violations get a warning, which escalate, how long a vehicle sits before anything happens, who at your organization authorizes removal. Agreed with you and reviewed by your counsel where residential property is involved.
Patrol and document
Rounds at varied times, with every action photographed and logged. Notices go on windshields long before anything gets hooked to a truck.
Escalate only with authorization
Removal happens when your rules call for it, with your authorization on record and the notice requirements satisfied. If a vehicle owner turns up before the truck leaves the property, Colorado gives them the right to have it released.
Report and adjust
Logs of every violation, notice and removal, plus a periodic read on whether the problem is shrinking. A lot that still generates the same violations after six months usually has a rules problem, not an enforcement problem.
