Continuum of campus Officer Responses
Campus officers will respond to both criminal and non-criminal actions on their campus.
Responses to criminal actions will likely be more standardized but will still require notification to administration.
Responses to non-criminal actions may differ from district to district and may even differ from campus to campus.
