Building on a series of initiatives that have transformed campus security , the University of Georgia will more than triple the number of emergency call stations across the university. Morehead, the university will install 50 additional call stations across campus parking lots that primarily serve UGA students β significantly expanding security camera coverage with wide-ranging views and enhancing lighting in these locations.
The first round of 23 emergency call stations was a key component of the comprehensive security enhancement package announced by UGA in These stations also offer Wi-Fi and facilitate calls using the internet as well as a cross connection with the PAWS Secure wireless network.
UGA already has more than camera views that are captured by CSCS, and in many instances they can also record license plates.
The ALPR system, however, is designed specifically for that purpose and is positioned across campus to maximize the likelihood that drivers entering or leaving the UGA community will have their license plates recorded. For more than two decades, UGA and ACC police also have shared information that enables each agency to see what the other is doing at any moment, immediately.
This shared information includes:. Lighting upgrades, which began last summer and build on previous enhancements at UGA, include more than lights that have been installed or converted to LED technology. Subscribers to the app also receive emergency notifications from UGA Police. The university will continue to work with its partners, both on- and off-campus, to further enhance safety and security, said P.
