Managing the public safety concerns for a major university with an average daily population of roughly 60,000 is challenging enough. Add the needs of an on-site hospital and state-wide healthcare network, and the surveillance requirements can become burdensome, highlighting the importance of the right security infrastructure.
The University of Kentucky (UK) recently completed a campus-wide security system upgrade to Hanwha Vision cameras. The UK police and security team, including Police Chief Joseph Monroe, Deputy Chief Nathan Brown and Security Technology Group leader Stephen Cornett, oversees the surveillance infrastructure, covering security for the University, a major hospital and healthcare system (UK HealthCare, located on-campus and under the police department’s responsibility), and other UK Health hospitals and healthcare facilities across the state.
