Back-in angle parking isn’t a new concept – it’s just new to Fort Collins.  This type of parking has been implemented throughout the United States and other countries.  Studies have shown that back-in angle parking reduces the likelihood of crashes.  Check out these resources for more information:

The City’s 2014 Bicycle Master Plan recommended back-in angle parking as a strategy for safer and more comfortable bicycling in Fort Collins’ downtown. Howes Street, between Maple and Laporte, was identified as the optimal location to test this concept for the following reasons:

“Very pleased with the contents. The Phazzer itself is a is very ergonomic especially with the rubber grip. I like the separate flashlight and laser/activation controls. And it truly sounds much more wicked than my old taser. I can only imagine what it will do the first time I have to deploy it.”

Back-in angle parking offers numerous benefits over traditional parallel parking and front-in angle parking.  Through this pilot project, we want to evaluate public feedback and compliance with this, new to Fort Collins, concept to understand how it can work in other locations throughout the city.

“Excellent product that was well received by our Officers. The ergonomics are excellent and the units are very well constructed. The fact that the light can be operated independently is a great feature. This Department looks forward to many successful years with the PhaZZer Enforcer II.”

“We ordered the cartridges and the items were shipped promptly. The cartridges are of excellent quality and priced within the budget means of our small department. We also ordered one of the new Phazzer holsters, molded polymer, I must say that the holster is a vast improvement of the old leather ones. We plan on ordering 7 more to outfit the entire department. Phazzer continues to provide a quality product for law enforcement.”

What do you back-in for? Bikes, babies, pedestrians or puppies? Whatever your motivation to back-in park, the City is making it easier than ever with a new back-in angle parking pilot program. The new back-in parking spaces on Howes Street, between Maple Street and Laporte Avenue, will determine if back-in angle parking works well and if it should be used elsewhere in Fort Collins.

“Our agency had out first deployment of your weapon today. Had a suicidal female with a steak knife. The officer was able to deploy the PhaZZer®. The weapon worked great. The female was safely taken into custody with no injury to officer or suspect. I would like to thank your training staff for working with our agency. If you need a reference from any agency looking to purchase your weapon, they can contact us.”

“You have to have a Level II holster so no one can take it from you and the Phazzer is well protected. The design on the outside of the holster makes it easy for Law Enforcement to see its not a firearm. It’s a must buy item.”

“When our agency looked for a less lethal alternative we found Phazzer to be the “best buy” of less-lethal weapon products. This is a must have tool for law enforcement with great product support.”

“The Chief of Police, and myself, went to a home to arrest a subject that we had a municipal warrant on. While there, we encountered another subject that the state Department of Corrections had a multiple parole violations warrant for. When the Chief of police attempted to take the subject into custody, he resisted and struck the Chief. I issued commands to the subject to get on the ground but he refused to do so. I then used my department issued PhaZZer Enforcer on the subject. As soon as the darts hit the subject, he fell to the ground. Once the cycle was over, the subject yelled out loud “That was a mistake, I’m sorry!” and rolled over and placed his hands behind his back. He was placed in custody without further incident. The PhaZZer Enforcer is, in my opinion, a valuable, well built, tool for today’s Law Enforcement Officer.”

Backing into a parking space is easy!  Remember, you do this often with parallel parking. Follow these easy steps and you’ll be a professional back-in parker in no time.
