Many times the campus police force are called untrained and cowboys. Actually they are trained and have to go through rigerous training and are commissioned through the County they are located in. This is mandated by the states to even carry a weapon.

For example, the C P at the Pittsburg State University also have powers off campus within a certain range of said campus. They also must follow the law about probable cause. This is done by either a call to them, eye balling a crime, but cannot jsut bust in anywhere they please. Of course, everything will depend on the circumstances.
