The University of Idaho Security Team provides Safe Walk services where we accompany students/faculty/staff across campus to make sure they can safely traverse the campus without fear of personal harm.

-----------------------------------

So, the only requirements to become a campus security officer consist of a "favorable" driving record, a HS diploma or GED, the ability to hang around the campus for eight hours a day, return telephone calls within 30 minutes, and lift 20 pounds.  After successfully completing such extensive vetting, the candidate is paid $11.50/hour, which is more than a Scranton (Pennsylvania) police officer is paid.

Then, as if that isn't stupid enough, the job is located in Boise where they "work closely with [the] Moscow Police Department".

Seeya round town, Moscow.
