Yes. Public safety patrol officers receive their police powers from the New York State Criminal Procedure Law. They are also deputized through the Tompkins County Sheriff’s Office. Officers are trained to the same standards as their colleagues in municipal police departments throughout New York State. They are armed to keep the campus safe. This is for your protection.
