A Park Mark Award is given to parking facilities that have met the requirements of a police risk assessment. These requirements mean the parking operator has put in place measures that help to deter criminal activity and anti-social behaviour, thereby doing everything they can to prevent crime and reduce the fear of crime in their parking facility. For customers, using a Park Mark awarded facility means that they can feel more confident of being in a safer, brighter environment that has been vetted by a recognised authority.
