(REPEALED EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1, 2016) AUTHORIZATION FOR CAMPUS POLICE DEPARTMENTS
IN PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION (§ 23-232.1)

The governing board of each private institution of higher education is
authorized to establish, in compliance with the provisions of this chapter, a
campus police department and to employ campus police officers upon appointment
as provided in § 23-233. Except as such provisions apply exclusively to public
institutions or employees, the provisions of this chapter shall apply to the
appointment and employment of officers, operation, powers, duties and
jurisdiction of private campus police departments, and such departments shall be
subject to and enjoy the benefits of this chapter. However, to be qualified to
use the word “police” to describe the department or its officers,
any private college or university which establishes a campus police department
shall require that each officer comply with the training or other requirements
for law-enforcement officers established by the Department of Criminal Justice
Services pursuant to Chapter 1 (§ 9.1-100 et seq.) of Title 9.1.
