The Wilson Police Department plays a crucial role in overseeing parking enforcement within the municipal service district and neighboring public lots. Working alongside the Parking and Traffic Division, their joint goal is to ensure the safe, convenient, and efficient movement and parking of traffic.

The Parking and Traffic division installs and maintains traffic control devices, street name signs, and pavement markings in accordance with standard traffic safety practices and policies. The division also properly maintains city parking lots and public vehicular areas, and responds to citizen inquiries and concerns as needed while improving community appearance.
