Summary findings

In 1995, BJS surveyed campus law enforcement agencies serving 4-year universities and colleges with 2,500 or more students.

  • More than 9 in 10 public institutions used sworn police officers, compared to less than half of the private institutions.

  • Most sworn campus police officers were armed, and overall about two-thirds of the campuses had armed officers.

  • Law enforcement agencies serving private campuses had operating costs of about $181 per student during fiscal 1994 compared to $94 per student on public campuses.

  • Nearly all of the agencies operated a general crime prevention program, and about two-thirds had rape prevention programs. About half operated programs to combat drug and alcohol abuse.
