'The peace officer status for campus security is nothing new, when we look at institutions such as Yale, Harvard, etc.'
“The peace officer status for campus security is nothing new, when we look at institutions such as Yale, Harvard, etc.”This is all about the protests of the last year. How do you think this idea will go over with students? Some will probably try to provoke arrests just to be confrontational.
Days of unrest on the campus, including smashed windows and barricades and the occupation of Hamilton Hall, scarred the spring semester at Columbia University.In hopes of avoiding a repeat in the fall, university president Minouche Shafik is proposing the school add peace officers to its security personnel.“If you’re afforded or awarded the peace officer status, you no longer have to cross-connect with the NYPD to make an arrest,” former NYPD Lt. Darrin Porcher explained.
Porcher said peace officers can take people into custody if they break the law on campus, and also bring them to jail. “This is something that was long overdue,” Porcher said. “The peace officer status for campus security is nothing new, when we look at institutions such as Yale, Harvard, etc.”
