SSPO... generaly your right. Mini - Van, Suffolk University security guards make more than Patrolmen, Not Armed, Lucky if you receive training outside of CPR/in-service, most Anti-Police administration you could ever immagine.
Ill give it this tho, it is what you make of it, if you do do police work (and you can) prepare to get an asschew (you probly wont get fired although sometimes I think that one is up in the air). And our chief (although i dont see eye to eye with him all that often) has the biggest set of proverbial cohones on him ive ever seen. If it was up to the Administration we would be doing things like room unlocks and probly sweaping the floors somewhere, thanks to the chief all we have is really a patrol function which is a good thing, also how many people can say they worked for the former head of the State Police. I would doubt there is a perfect campus law enforcement job, just some in better shape than others.
