Battle Ground police are planning to more rigidly enforce parking laws following an uptick in illegally parked and abandoned vehicles over the past few years.

In the year between March 2019 and March 2020, the Battle Ground Police Department received 97 complaints related to vehicles, according to police data. That figure continued a steady rise from 49 complaints between March 2016 and March 2017.
