Are officers only able to arrest on campus property?
No! The University of Akron and the City of Akron have entered into a mutual aid agreement which legally allows university law enforcement officers to affect arrests off campus for criminal violations. The University of Akron also maintains mutual aid agreements with all other state university police departments. This allows for UAPD to aid and request aid from other university police departments. UAPD officers have assisted Ohio University police during Halloween and have been assisted by Kent State police during a visit to UA by President Clinton.
