@libroraptor@mastodon.nz @heidilifeldman@mastodon.social now I'm confused. Can you edit your post to separate State Police from University Security? Or is it all about the latter?

@mdione@en.osm.town @libroraptor@mastodon.nz @heidilifeldman@mastodon.social I believe they are talking about university police, not university security. In the US it is fairly common for large universities to have their own fully accredited police forces, which are law enforcement agencies distinct from campus security. University police have jurisdiction over crimes committed on campus, while campus security do not have law enforcement powers. This probably seems so unlikely to you that you assumed the reference to university police was a mistake, but it is indeed how things work here.
