SECTION 662
Appointment of private college campus security officers at independent non-profit colleges
County (CNT) CHAPTER 11, ARTICLE 17
§ 662. Appointment of private college campus security officers at
independent non-profit colleges. 1. Notwithstanding any other provision
of law to the contrary, the sheriff of any county, any part or all of
which falls outside the limits of a city having a population of one
million or more, may appoint as private college campus security officers
security guards employed by an independent non-profit college upon the
request of such independent non-profit college in accordance with the
provisions of subdivision five of section sixty-four hundred fifty of
the education law. The sheriff may appoint such campus security officers
pursuant to this section only if more than fifty percent of the total
acreage of real property owned by or under the control of such
independent non-profit college is located within such sheriff's county
of jurisdiction and outside the geographic boundaries of any city within
such county and the county legislature or board of supervisors, pursuant
to local law or resolution duly adopted, has authorized the sheriff to
make such appointments. Any such security guards appointed as campus
security officers shall be employees of the independent non-profit
college requesting such appointment and shall not be officers, agents,
servants or employees of the appointing sheriff or his county of
jurisdiction nor be considered public officers, agents, servants or
employees. Such campus security officers shall have only those powers
set forth in subdivision five of section sixty-four hundred fifty of the
education law.

2. The sheriff may condition appointment as private college campus
security officers upon compliance by such campus security officers with
written procedures established by the sheriff in order to ensure a
coordinated and cooperative law enforcement effort and the payment of an
administrative fee not to exceed fifty dollars per year per campus
security officer and may revoke such appointments at any time for
material non-compliance with the requirements of such written procedures
or subdivision five of section sixty-four hundred fifty of the education
law or for any other reason that shall disqualify a security guard from
being such a campus security officer pursuant to the provisions of such
subdivision.
