At my Alma Mater, the University of Nevada, the campus police are all sworn peace officers with firearms and very competent. When I lived in the dorms, every school policeman knew me and every other resident by first name— at first I thought it was strange and now I think its exceptional.

Also, they have their own SWAT team and 2 sniper teams.

I’d say thats something for other universities to consider.

That’s interesting. At most universities campus police are a joke.

I’d say I agree.

Oh come on - what does a university (or even most smaller towns) need with a SWAT team. Our police are already become too militaristic and the expense to fund their toys are getting out of hands.

SWAT teams rarely save any lives in situations like this but storm the building after the shooters have already taken all the lives they intended to.

Let's not overreact like the liberals do.
