Each officer is responsible for the 30 minute parking area in his or her section of the campus grid. When parking areas are checked initially, the officer enters the information about the vehicles parked in the area into a handheld unit. After about 30-40 minutes have elapsed, the officer returns to the parking area and re-enters information about the vehicles in the parking area into the handheld unit, which indicates which ones are in violation of the area's time limit. The order in which the officer visits the parking areas in his or her section of the campus grid is left to the officer's discretion.
