hundred sixty-two of the county law or by the chief law enforcement
officer of a city where the college is located, pursuant to section two
hundred nine-aa of the general municipal law, as added by chapter six
hundred eleven of the laws of nineteen hundred ninety-five. Security
guards appointed as such campus security officers may exercise within
their geographic area of authority as defined hereinafter any or all of

another person when and to the extent that he or she reasonably believes

subdivision or to prevent the escape from custody of such person and use
deadly physical force for such purpose when he or she reasonably
believes such to be necessary to defend himself or herself or a third
person from what he or she reasonably believes to be the use or imminent
use of deadly physical force;
c. to carry and utilize a police baton and noxious materials designed
and intended for prevention of crime and enforcement of law and order;

use such police baton or noxious materials before receiving training in

law; and
