campus police

College law enforcement

Campus police are law enforcement officers employed by a college or university to patrol its grounds and maintain security.

At many institutions, campus police have full arrest powers and jurisdiction over campus property.

They handle everything from noise complaints and parking violations to serious crimes.

Also called campus security, though that term sometimes refers to unarmed guards with more limited authority.
