After reading about experiences people have had at other universities, both public and private, I'm glad for the set up we have. I thought it was odd that Idaho didn't have campus police, but I think that having the local law enforcement (town, county, and state) handle campus matters as well as town matters makes it more of a community and closes the gap between "town and gown" so to say. Perhaps it also makes students more accountable as the police calls are reported in the newspaper, and things can't be kept quiet by the University, nor are students unfairly targeted by campus police.
The cops here aren't jerks, and I like it.
