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.
