Re: Jurisdiction
My humble opinion: instead of having their own police departments (with all the overhead that entails), school districts who choose to have police should arrange (and pay for) officers detailed from the local jurisdiction.

Re: Jurisdiction
In Texarkana, they can even cross state lines. While they don't routinely patrol across the line, both cities' officers have full authority in both states, within city limits.srothstein wrote:Sorry to make this convoluted but I thought this had been cleared up already. Police officers can write traffic tickets anywhere in their county (or counties if their city crosses county lines).gregthehand wrote:Officers outside their jurisdiction can not enforce traffic violations. They have to be in their city if they are local police, or county if they are SO or Constables office. Also a deputy constable can write a traffic ticket anywhere in the county.
