Hiring off-duty police officers to provide security for events is very common. Without their own police departments, universities would be doing this constantly and would likely not be able to find sufficient numbers of off-duty officers for all events for which they wanted to provide security. It also allows universities to provide a higher concentration of law enforcement officials on their campuses than would otherwise be provided by the police departments in the surrounding municipalities. There are definitely problems with policing in the US, but notable exceptions notwithstanding, campus police tend to be among the more community-minded LEOs.
