campus police departments. A. The jurisdiction of campus police officers includes the campus and pursuant to an agreement authorized by Section 360.15 et seq. of this title, the highways, streets, roads, alleys, easements, and other public ways immediately adjacent to their campus and any other areas authorized by such agreement. This delineation of jurisdiction, however, shall not be understood as limiting the completion of any necessary enforcement activities which began within these jurisdictions and are in compliance with the agreements made with the municipality or county sheriff pursuant to Section 360.15 et seq. of this title. In the absence of an agreement, only those law enforcement activities which began on campus may be completed off campus and such activities must be completed in a timely manner. Such law enforcement activities shall only be authorized if the campus police have coordinated the activities with the local law enforcement agency having jurisdiction in that off campus area. In addition, a campus police officer shall have jurisdiction in other locations pursuant to an agreement authorized by Section 360.15 et seq. of this title. Such agreement may authorize the chief administrative officer of the law enforcement agency to request assistance pursuant to the agreement. Campus police officers, commissioned pursuant to Section 360.15 et seq. of this title, shall have the same powers, liabilities, and immunities as sheriffs or police officers within their jurisdiction. B. As limited by law, the provisions of this section, and the governing board, a CLEET certified campus police officer shall have the authority to enforce: 1. State criminal statutes; 2. Municipal ordinances, if authorized by an agreement with the municipality; and 3. Rules and regulations of the school, institution of higher education or airport public trust or its beneficiary employing such campus police officer. C. As limited by law, the provisions of this section, and the governing board, the campus police department shall have the same authority as a municipal police department. D. Campus police departments formed by private institutions of higher education pursuant to Section 360.15 et seq. of this title shall be deemed to be public agencies in the State of Oklahoma for the limited purposes of enforcing the criminal statutes of Oklahoma and making agreements with local law enforcement agencies or political subdivisions of the state pursuant to Section 360.15 et seq. of this title, provided, that the trustees of airport public trusts shall also be deemed to be a public agency of this state as provided in Section 179 of Title 60 of the Oklahoma Statutes.
