officers are armed and trained annually in the use of firearms. On foot
and in vehicles, they patrol the campus and residence halls 24 hours
a day. Their efforts are coordinated with local law enforcement officials
and the Ohio State Patrol and Ohio State Bureau of Criminal Investigation
and Identification to enforce Ohio and local laws on campus, as well
as University rules and regulations. and investigate crimes. Routinely,
the department reports criminal incidents to the appropriate police
agency outside University jurisdiction to facilitate the needs of our
