Prior to 1999 the OSU Police Division actually numbered 63 sworn officers. It has continually decreased with attrition while the number of unarmed security officers has increased dramatically. Since that time the University has purchased Hospital East, Care Point East and added the Gateway all while cutting police staffing. Calls for police service and actual crimes have increased during the same time frame. It’s odd that OSU prides itself as being at the top in the Big 10, if not nationally in most endeavors but finds itself dead last when it comes to policing.
