Did you read your own link? They are NOT fully trained Police Officers. They are licensed and "trained" campus police. Houston Police have much greater training.
Further note they are not a member of the Police Union.
Heck, as a private citizen I have the "authority" to jump in my car and assist an officer down. That doesn't necessarily make it smart.
The Officer should have stayed on Campus or at minimum requested permission to leave.
Read you own link.
Protecting the "University Community" i.e. on campus is what they do. NOT the City of Houston.
"What We Do"
"Rice University Police Department takes the lead in providing a safe environment for the university community by protecting life and property. To achieve this protection, RUPD maintains patrols to deter and detect crime, to report fires and safety hazards, and to control traffic on campus. The police department is also responsible for investigating all crimes that occur on campus."
