Campus dispatch centers are the heart of any university, hospital or school district security technology program. They handle 9-1-1 calls, as well as calls for service. Officers monitor security camera footage at these public safety nerve centers. And let’s not forget that they also manage the organization’s access control and alarm systems.
Emergency operations centers are vital when campuses are experiencing disasters or high-profile events. This photo (left) shows UCLA’s designated emergency operations center.
