About this Topic |
|
Campus law enforcement officers patrol colleges and universities, providing a quicker response time to incidents on campus than local police, and offer campus-specific services not necessarily available from local policing organizations. Campus police forces can be comprised of sworn police officers, non-sworn security officers, or both. Campus law enforcement officers can have state, county, or city wide jurisdiction; others are limited to campus property.
