Oklahoma college increases security with more cameras
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.
