Patrol officers
Patrol officers are assigned to work 210 days per year. This basically results in the two full months of June and July off. Patrol officers are assigned to work 8.25 hours per day resulting in .25 hours per day overtime pay.
Shifts are:
| A | 0545 - 1400 |

| B | 0845 - 1700 Mon - Fri |
| C | 1345 - 2200 |
| D | 2145 - 0600 |
Campus officers
Campus officers are assigned to work 210 days per year. Campus officers work at their assigned campus when classes are in session, which is currently 177 days per year. The remaining 33 days the officer is assigned to patrol or other duties. While assigned to the campus the hours of duty will be 8 or 8.5 hours per day, depending upon the campus. Officers who work 8.5 hours per day will receive .5 hours of overtime per day.
While assigned to the campus, the campus officer works the schedule of the campus, which is generally between the hours of 0730 and 1630, Monday through Friday, with school holidays off. This schedule is worked from mid-August through May.
Since campus officers only complete part of their 210-day annual assignment at the campus, it is necessary to assign the officer to patrol or other duties from the end of school to the beginning of the next school year. This results in the officer working approximately 33 days during the months of June and/or July.
Floating campus officers work under the same basic parameters and duty hours as the campus officers with the exception that they are not assigned to one specific campus. Floating campus officers are assigned to campuses where a campus officer is absent or additional police services are needed. Floating campus officers may also be given other assignments where additional police services are needed.
