How UT Police at Houston Protect the World’s Largest Cancer Hospital

The UT Police Risk Operations Center (ROC) is responsible for the public safety and security operational communication functions within the department. Those functions include radio communications, telephone communications, teletype and automated data communications, and monitoring institutional fire alarms, hospital medical emergency activations, campus alarms, badge access and Code Blue response calls.

As part of its threat risk-monitoring and communication responsibility, the ROC issues emergency notification alerts on behalf of MD Anderson and UTHealth. As an integral part of the Combined Protection Model, the ROC also coordinates virtual and physical escorts, and provides real-time support for other department programs.
