Author: Wada, James Christopher Title: Betwixt and Between: The Perceived Legitimacy of Campus Police Summary: Historically, campus police (CP) have evolved similar to "mainstream" police. However, the identity of CP has been unclear. First, CP may not be accepted by university administration because they are "cops," not part of academia. Second, students and other law enforcement agencies may not perceive CP as “cops" because they are based in a university system. The legitimacy of police officers is crucial for public support and cooperation; without it, a police officer's effort to combat crime and maintain order is jeopardized. Although CP marginalization has been discussed in the literature, there are no empirical studies of CP legitimacy. To explore the legitimacy of CP, CP officers from a doctoral extensive land grant institution were interviewed. The analysis of interviews reflected three salient perceptions of CP: (1) In many instances the community did not regard CP as sworn police officers; (2) the public stereotypes CP; and (3) CP have to “sell” their profession to the public. Overall, the interviews indicated that CP perceive some level of marginalization by the public. To confirm the perceptions of CP, a convenience sample of 593 undergraduate students were surveyed. The surveys were used to compare student perceptions of legitimacy between CP and municipal police (MP) at the department and individual officer levels. Results of the surveys indicated that students have lower perceived levels of legitimacy for CP officers compared to MP officers (p=.01). Similarly, students have lower perceived levels of legitimacy for the CP department compared to the MP department (p=.05). Consequently, it appears that the perceptions of CP were justified. Survey results indicated that students do, indeed, perceive CP as a less legitimate law enforcement authority compared to their "mainstream" counterpart. Victor Turner’s theory of liminality was used to explain CP marginalization. Turner describes liminality as a transitional period between two social standings. However, in some instances, a person or group may never transition out of that liminal period. These unfortunate few are consider "permanently" liminal. The analysis of CP interviews and student surveys indicated that CP appear to be "permanently" liminal, trapped in an ambiguous state, "betwixt and between" two social standings.

Author: Bobb, Merrick Title: A Bad Night at Powell Library: The Events of November 14, 2006 Summary: At the behest of UCLA Acting Chancellor Norman Abrams, PARC was engaged to investigate a November 2006 incident in which the UCLA campus police repeatedly tasered a UCLA student who refused to produce his student identification after hours in the main campus library. PARC conducted a seven-month investigation of the facts, including exhaustive research on the Taser itself, on the policies and practices of other universities and police departments regarding use of the Taser, and on the best and recommended practices regarding the Taser formulated by the leading authorities and experts on the question, including model policies drafted by police organizations such as the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) and the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF).

Author: Edley, Christopher F., Jr. Title: Response to Protests on UC Campuses: A Report to President Mark G. Yudof Summary: After physical conflict erupted between police and students during demonstrations at UC Berkeley and UC Davis in November 2011, University President Mark G. Yudof asked Vice President and General Counsel Charles F. Robinson and Berkeley Law School Dean Christopher F. Edley, Jr. to review existing policies and practices regarding the University’s response to demonstrations and civil disobedience. This review was not intended as a fact-finding investigation into the November 2011 protests, or into any other particular incident. Other reviews have been tasked with that objective. Rather, this review was aimed at identifying best practices to inform the University’s response to future demonstrations. Since work on the review—and this resulting Report—began, additional clashes on other campuses have underscored the need for this analysis. This Report is premised on the belief that free expression, robust discourse, and vigorous debate over ideas and principles are essential to the mission of our University. The goal of this Report is to identify practices that will facilitate such expression—while also protecting the health and safety of our students, faculty, staff, police, and the general public. For some campus administrators and police, this will require a substantial shift away from a mindset that has been focused primarily on the maintenance of order and adherence to rules and regulations. For some protestors, this will require taking more responsibility for their activities as well, including by educating themselves about protest-related rules and considering the impact acts of civil disobedience can have on others in the campus community. In developing this prospective framework for responding to protests and civil disobedience, the authors examined existing University policies and practices on speech, demonstrations, and use of force by police; the opinions of students, faculty, administrators, staff, and police on all ten campuses; and the views of academics and other experts on speech, civil liberties, and law enforcement. The objective has been to be as broad and fair as possible in collecting information in order to develop a thoughtful and fact-based Report.

Author: King, Denise Rodriguez Title: Arming University Police Departments: Best Practices and Lessons Learned Summary: Recent tragic incidents have impacted campus and university security. For example, the 1999 Columbine High School shooting, the 2007 Virginia Tech shooting, the 2008 Northern Illinois University shooting, andmore recentlythe 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting have changed the way public safety officials patrol and secure their schools and universities. In response to such incidents, universities have increased their attention on preventing and preparing for active shooter incidents. Some universities have invested in various protective measures to protect their students, such as installing cameras and bulletproof whiteboards, while others have incorporated active shooter exercises and drills into their annual training. In addition, several universities have armed their officers to mitigate the risk, increase their ability to respond appropriately, and, ultimately, ensure the safety of their students and staff. CNA recently conducted a study revealing that of the 66 universities that noted in the 20042005 Bureau of Justice Statistics Survey of Campus Law Enforcement Agencies that they did not employ sworn armed officers, 28 (42 percent) have since decided to arm their officers, indicating a substantial shift in the last nine years. Arriving at the decision to arm campus and university police forces is complex and involves a continual and active effort by the university and its police department to create and cement strong working relationships with staff, faculty, students, neighboring law enforcement agencies, and community members. The process of arming sworn officers can create concern, and agencies must ensure that the universitys risk assessment and the concerns of each stakeholder are taken into consideration prior to making a decision. The purpose of this paper is to outline the process that universities should follow as they consider arming their police officers and to provide university officials with best practices and recommendations for each of the steps involved.

Author: MacDonald, John M. Title: The Effect of Privately Provided Police Services on Crime Summary: Research demonstrates that police reduce crime. The implication of this research for investment in a particular form of extra police services, those provided by private institutions, has not been rigorously examined. We capitalize on the discontinuity in police force size at the geographic boundary of a private university police department to estimate the effect of the extra police services on crime. Extra police provided by the university generate approximately 45-60 percent fewer crimes in the surrounding neighborhood. These effects appear to be similar to other estimates in the literature.

Author: University of Cincinnati. Office of Safety and Reform Title: Final Report for the Comprehensive Review of the University of Cincinnati Police Department Summary: The shooting death of Samuel DuBose is a tragedy that shook the University of Cincinnati (the "University" or "UC"), its Police Department (the "Department" or "UCPD") and the Cincinnati community to their core. In the wake of that tragedy, the University Administration has commendably taken a series of steps to determine what led to the shooting and how to best ensure that mistakes of the past are never repeated. One such step was the engagement of the Exiger team to perform a comprehensive review of UCPD. Over the last four months the Exiger team has spoken to a significant number of members of the University faculty, staff, administration, student body, as well as numerous Cincinnati residents and reviewed thousands of pages of documents in an effort to fully understand the improvements that are necessary to help transform UCPD into a model law enforcement agency by combining best practices of urban, university and community policing. This is the Exiger team's final report in which we present our findings and recommendations for remediation and reform of the organization. Many of the recommended reforms are significantly underway, some being undertaken even prior to our arrival. Our report consists of this Introductory Section, an Executive Summary including the "Fundamental Recommendations" which form the foundation for UCPD to become the model agency toward which it strives; a background section that covers the history of the UCPD, and the incident that gave rise to this assignment; a section outlining the scope of the assignment; followed by a section on the methodology utilized for completion of the assignment; and finally, a section containing the biographies of the members of the Exiger team. This is followed by a series of sections that cover each of the subject matter areas specified in the Request for Proposal. All told, there are 14 Fundamental Findings with 25 corresponding Recommendations, and there are 115 additional findings with 251 specific recommendations which the team believes, if implemented, will collectively transform the Department.
