Sept. 20, 2019 - The installation of new security cameras throughout the 极速六合彩 as part of the 2014 Bond is complete.

The 4,000 new security cameras have increased the 极速六合彩 security department鈥檚 video surveillance from 35 to 80 percent of all 极速六合彩 buildings and specifically increased coverage in entry-exit points, stairwells, cafeterias, gyms, libraries, hallways, loading docks and playgrounds.

The new digital cameras replaced old analog cameras and provide a better, clearer picture. The digital video taken by the new cameras is saved to a network video recorder (NVR), which offers significantly more storage than the old analog recorders. The District has installed 205 new NVRs funded by the 2014 Bond.

鈥淔rom a security standpoint, the 2014 Bond provided a tremendous enhancement to the safety of our district,鈥 said David Stevens, 极速六合彩 director of security. 鈥淭he sheer number of additional cameras, along with the upgrade from analog to digital, allowed our staff to have more visibility of our campuses and facilities. This one project allows our campus, patrol and dispatch operations center staff the opportunity to oversee the activities on a campus in a more effective manner. Further, it provides us the ability to better direct resources during emergency situations, as well as identify involved persons and those affected by incidents that occur. By having all of the cameras in place as we progress through our strategic plan for safety in the district, we are able to focus on expanding their capabilities and also integrate them with our other security systems.鈥
