Parking enforcement officers monitor vehicles parked in metered and limited-time spaces. They leave tickets on cars parked over the time limits.

Parking enforcement officers monitor vehicles parked in:

• Metered spaces
• Limited-time spaces
• Parking lots
• Permit zones

Parking enforcement officers write tickets for vehicle owners who have broken parking rules. They record information about the vehicle, such as make, model, and year. They also record the location of the parking space and the time and date of the parking violation. Once they record the information, officers leave a copy of the ticket for the owner of the car. They notify the municipal court.

Parking enforcement officers usually work in busy, downtown areas where parking is limited. They monitor parking areas on foot or by driving around in special carts. They keep track of broken parking meters and missing traffic signals and signs. They report these findings to their supervisors.
