RegardingID Archive | Oklahoma college increases security with more cameras

Monday, July 14, 2008

Oklahoma City Community College is doubling the number of cameras on campus and is giving its security officers ID scanners, all aimed at beefing up security at the school. The college is under surveillance by 42 cameras, located both inside and out, but another 40 cameras are being installed between the summer and fall semester.

The majority of the cameras will be situated inside the college, but a small number will be installed outside of the building to ensure the OCCC parking lot is under complete surveillance. More than $100,000 will be spent on the new technology.

The ID scanners will be installed in the school’s two patrol vehicles and another in the Safety and Security office. The scanners are designed to help campus security ensure that anyone walking on campus late at night is either an OCCC student or faculty member.

“It seems to me that the college has taken all the necessary precautions to protect the students,” commented one student.
