Canada
Canadian campus police are trained to standardized provincial curriculum. As peace officers, they are sworn in as special constables by the municipal police board in the jurisdiction that the respective university campus is based. While they have peace officer authority while engaged in duty, they do not have such powers off-duty.
Campus Police in Canada do not carry firearms, but are generally given other law enforcement's tools of trade - namely handcuffs, body armor, batons and pepper spray.
Campus police do not exist in the Provinces of British Columbia and Québec. Instead, colleges and universities employ civilian security guards.
