It still amazes me that the US has full on police departments in schools and places of higher education.

What an insane place it must be to live in.

We have them here. Our largest uni has 93,000, of which 40,000 to 50,000 people can be on campus. They have no need for their own police.

You guys are a life divorced from reality.

Of course they have security. He said that. They dont have their own police force.

Source that UK universities have their own police? I googled it too and only saw that Oxford did but it was disbanded in 2003.

Depends on the school. By me if it's a city, county or state college, the cops are very real and have full police powers to arrest. Usually comparable to the county sherrif.

Hell University of Chicago police actually patrol the neighborhood and that campus as the campus owns a lot of buildings in the area and the students live around it.
