When that happens, it's usually not for long and the officer returns shortly. Therefore, if an officer must leave the gate, the control center operator monitors the entrance via the camera. It's also important to know that staffing shortages occur from time to time that effect deployment. First of all, just because everybody else parked illegally, doesn't make it right . Parking and traffic enforcement are part of our mission.
Officers monitor and write citations as needed and when time and staffing allow.
When this happens, they may not be able to return to that area immediately and resume their citations. Thus, it may appear selective, but I assure you it's not. We are required by OSHA to maintain safe parking and traffic standards for our community. As such, rules regulating the parking and traffic flow are necessary. For those types of violators, a boot or a tow may be required to insure compliance.
