Seems common for colleges and universities to have their own security, which sometimes even have Legal Enforcement Powers. I'd never heard of departments specifically for primary schools until that post a little while back about San Diego acquiring an MRAP.
Maybe there's some reason that it's worthwhile for a big city to have a department organized by the type of place protected, rather than strictly geographic districts. Or more cynically, maybe it's just a way to get people to vote for more total police funding, which they'd do "for the children" but not for the force in general.
