Specifically, if not acting under their jurisdiction, (i.e., school property, adjacent property if authorized, or at a school function off of school property), they are NOT an LE.You found the exact reason why I Did not give a real definent answer. It appears that they are making a citizens arrest of sorts while waiting for METRO and it is quite unclear as to their police power if any outside of campus. here is a quote from the METRO manual
5/106.15 JURISDICTIONAL INTERFACE WITH THE CLARK COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT POLICE DEPARTMENT
"Due to the limited jurisdiction of the School District Police, members of this department will not request back-up services or assistance off school district property. responding to violations outside their jurisdictional boundrys would be done as private citizens and could create direct liability for the School District and the Officers."
So they may be able to make an arrest, but they still have to call the police just like a citizen hmmm.
So, if the contact was not in a jurisdiction area, this was NOT an encounter with an LE.
