ATLANTA—Exterior video surveillance cameras at Georgia State University are now fully integrated with the Atlanta Police Department’s Operation Shield Video Integration Center, enabling Atlanta police officers to monitor video footage from 253 campus cameras.
“Georgia State University sits in the heart of Atlanta and through this partnership we can monitor the areas and provide an extra layer of security to protect Georgia State students, faculty and staff,” said Chief George Turner. “We believe these cameras can deter crime, help our investigators solve crimes and speed our response to emergency incidents in the areas around campus.”
The Georgia State cameras are joining a network of more than 6,000 cameras that are already operational 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
“This system strengthens the long-term partnership between Georgia State Police and APD,” said Acting Georgia State Police Chief Carlton Mullis. “Our strong working relationships with law enforcement agencies downtown help to keep our campus community secure."
