As part of the Mayor's Volunteer Initiatives Program (VIP), Park Houston holds volunteer trainings for citizens interested in getting involved in protecting their communities and helping fight disabled parking abuse.
The Disabled Parking Volunteer Program is designed to ensure individuals whose needs require accessible parking spaces have those spaces available. With the generous help of citizen volunteers, Park Houston is better able to ensure parking space availability to those who need it most.
Volunteers are required to attend a four hour training session and pass a background check. Once complete, volunteers are empowered to issue citations within the Houston City limits to those who abuse disabled parking spaces.
Trainings are located at Park Houston Office, 2020 McKinney, Houston, TX 77003

Wife has some medical issues that are not obvious. We have a handicap placard and nothing infuriates me more than people who park there illegally. My wife just says its ok, we can walk...But I see how much this hurts her, even though she thinks she is hiding it.
On the plus side, My city just created an app that lets you report any violations you see. Take a clear picture showing the violation through the app and report the location. A ticket is in the mail. I hate to admit how much satisfaction that app gives me.

Now THAT is a program that should be made available nationwide! I would totally sign up for that, as I constantly see idiots parking in those spots without placards or DP plates.
