I agree. They simply provide an illusion of safety. Even if they were well-trained and proficient, there are not enough campus cops to protect against a lunatic, as we have seen again and again....
Past experience with campus cops proves that they exist mostly to cover up crimes on campus in order to protect the reputation of their employer. For a long time now I’ve advocated that public universities and schools should be patrolled by actual law enforcement who rotate in and out of the schools the same as they do any other patrol zone.
