School Campus Security Becomes Increased Priority Since Shootings
School security has become more of a priority — especially for students and parents — in light of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting tragedy in Newtown, Conn. Almost four months before Sandy Hook, gunfire rang out at Perry Hall High School in Baltimore County, leaving one student in the hospital and another behind bars. Mobile users tap here for video. It was Aug. 26, 2012, on the first day of school when police said a Perry Hall student fired the shot that hit his classmate in the school’s cafeteria. The incident brought about a number of changes in and outside of county school buildings, from metal detectors to an increased police presence to adding new security cameras. Already, students from across the district have taken notice. "In the office, they check your ID and they have precautions such as that, but there’s still also the chance that it can happen anywhere," said Isabelle Nowicki-Butschky, a student. The county promoted Dale Rauenzahn to a newly created position as executive director of school safety and security. "All schools have camera systems, all schools have a visitor system, so we are tightening it up so it’s not a phase-in anymore. We do it very quickly and make sure all schools have the same protections across the board," Rauenzahn said. "You had the Perry Hall situation and then not long after that, you had Sandy Hook. How did that change what you had to do?" WBAL-TV 11 News Education Alert reporter Tim […]

UMass Police Officers Sue Department And University Over Surveillance Equipment
NORTHAMPTON – Eighteen University of Massachusetts police officers have filed suits against the university, its police department and various school officials saying the use of surveillance equipment in the UMass police facility has violated their civil rights. The officers, who filed 18 separate complaints Friday, maintain that they were not informed that some of the surveillance equipment in the new facility, which went into use in March 2011, could monitor their personal conversations. The new suits follow one brought last year by UMass police officer Mark Shlosser on behalf of himself and his fellow officers. Shlosser maintained that at least 13 of the 42 video surveillance cameras installed in the new station are capable of recording conversations in various parts of the building, including private conversations between officers. The officers say they did not find out about this until January 2012. They contend that this violates the Massachusetts wiretap statute — which decrees that people must be informed when their conversations are being recorded — as well as their civil rights, and that it constitutes an invasion of their privacy. As a result of Shlosser’s suit, a Hampshire Superior Court judge issued a preliminary injunction last year barring UMass from recording private conversations in its police station. The complaints name the UMass Board of Trustees, former President Robert L. Caret, former police chiefs Johnny Whitehead and Barbara O’Connor and Deputy Chief Patrick T. Archbald as defendants. In a memo to staff attached to Shlosser’s suit, Archbald insisted that no […]

Seattle-Based Wearable Camera Maker Focusing On Prosumer Market
Steve Ward had wearable cameras in his sights when he was a Seattle police officer on bike patrols in the late 1990s. Back then, he figured body-worn devices could show 100 percent of what a cop deals with on a daily basis, rather than the 5 percent or so that is seen on the dashboard camera videos that have become a staple of evening newscasts. Yet, Ward had to wait for the technology to catch up with his ideas. “Now we have smaller batteries, longer life and smaller image sensors,” he said. Ward now also has his own six-year-old company, VIEVU, and an initial body-worn camera that’s been successfully marketed to the law enforcement community. That product is now used by 3,000 agencies in 16 countries. Ward’s newest product, the VIEVU2 (VIEVU Squared), is a response to requests he was hearing from a different marketplace as he was selling his first wearable camera. “We’d get a lot of people coming to us saying, ‘hey, make us a camera that we can use to protect our businesses, or protect ourselves and our jobs,” Ward said. “So we listened to what the market said.” The VIEVU Squared is the result: a rugged, square-ish camera that fits in the palm of a hand, and is primarily targeting home service professionals, security personnel or business owners. “These are professionals that have liability in their jobs, or a business person who wants to protect their company. So we make a camera that they can […]

Lincoln Police: Downtown Security Cameras To Be Turned On
Home / Headlines List / Article Lincoln, Neb.– Lincoln Police say they’re turning on security cameras in downtown in an effort to curb crime in the area. The cameras were installed at 14th & O Streets in November 2012, but haven’t been turned on until now. According to Lincoln Police Chief Jim Peschong, in one year the city sees over 4,000 reported assaults, 146 of those happened at that intersection. That’s more than any other part of the city and now the intersection is at its highest level of crime, according to Peschong. He hopes the cameras will help catch people causing trouble, but some wonder if they will keep the mischief away or just customers in general. Some downtown business owners told city leaders in July that they’re worried that new security cameras may scare customers away. “It is another tool to portray 14th & O Street inaccurate,” said Scott Hatfield, who has owned Duffy’s Tavern for six years. Officials say in addition to helping the police department identify those involved in a crime, police say the footage can serve as evidence in court.

ACLU: More Surveillance Cameras Don’t Make You Safer
video.surveillance.205×205.jpg Big images below. In a post last month , we told you about a new website called CommunityCam , which planned to use crowd-sourcing techniques to document and map all the security cameras in public areas throughout Denver and other nearby areas . The site’s founder mainly portrayed such surveillance devices as good things — no surprise, given that his main company sells and markets them. But the ACLU of Boulder’s Judd Golden doesn’t equate more cameras with more safety and is concerned about other possible infringements on personal privacy as they proliferate. Golden isn’t new to this issue. Back in August, he talked with us about license-plate readers , which he said had the technical capability of allowing authorities to track every driver in Boulder and beyond . So it’s no surprise he looked at the CommunityCam concept with a critical eye. Here’s a CommunityCam screen capture of Colorado from our original post. community.cam.denver.1.jpg Next, take a closer look at Denver metro, with designations for the number of cameras in assorted suburbs, plus Boulder and the city itself: community.cam.denver.2.jpg Finally, here’s a zoom-in of downtown Denver, with icons marking the locations for dozens of cameras, many just steps away from each other: community.cam.denver.3.jpg In the view of CommunityCam’s Josh Daniels, maps like these provide locals with “primarily social benefits — things like being able to plan safer, monitored routes for jogging, biking and walking.

Iowa DOT Chief Says There?s ?Mixed? Info Over Safety Impact Of Traffic Cameras
The removal of a potential safety hazard that could have saved an inmate’s life was halted due to the anticipated closure of the Sarnia Jail, a jury heard Thursday at the ongoing inquest into the hanging deaths of two inmates. Sarnia Jail superintendent Kim Wright told jurors she believed the elimination of possible anchor points for nooses on bed frames was stopped after the closure of the jail was announced. In April, inmate Daniel Mitchell was found with a shred of bed sheet around his neck and tied through a bed frame hole. In 2011, Darcy Rice, the second victim in the ongoing inquest, was discovered with a shred of bed sheet around his neck and tied to a horizontal bar of the cell door. However, jurors at an eerily similar inquest into another hanging death back in 2009 had already recommended holes in jail bed frames and horizontal bars on cell doors be eliminated. A weekend inmate, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said he wasn’t surprised to hear the jury’s recommendations weren’t followed through on back in 2009. “I’m more aggravated that they aren’t keeping an eye on the inmates,” he said. “They come around every once in a while. There’s times in there that they don’t come around for a good hour.” He believes the solution to preventing jail suicides is simply to increase the patrols of the cells. In the last six years, three of the 17 suicides at Ontario’s 29 jails have happened in […]

The Eyes Have It: Mounties Step Up Video Surveillance Of Parliament Hill
Security cameras are seen on a lightpost following renovations to the entranceways to Parliament Hill Friday December 6, 2013 in Ottawa. It’s the time when tourists usually begin posing for family photos with the newly strung holiday lights on Parliament Hill. This year the festive visits will almost certainly be captured by RCMP lenses, too.THE CANADIAN PRESS/Adrian Wyld OTTAWA – It’s the time when tourists usually begin posing for family photos with the newly strung holiday lights on Parliament Hill. This year the festive visits will almost certainly be captured by RCMP lenses, too. The Mounties have recently added new video cameras near pedestrian entrances and a vehicle screening facility along Wellington Street, the boulevard in front of the Parliament Buildings. The RCMP and its Hill security partners have also bowed to the wishes of the federal privacy commissioner by posting signs on bollards that read: 24 hour video surveillance for security of the grounds. The notices mark the end of a behind-the-scenes tussle between the commissioner’s office and the RCMP about whether people visiting Parliament Hill should be advised of the unblinking electronic eyes that expand video coverage of the precinct. “This is a positive outcome stemming from our work to achieve this with the RCMP and others involved in managing Parliament Hill, including Public Works and the National Capital Commission,” said Scott Hutchinson, a spokesman for the privacy commissioner. The commissioner has been concerned for some time about the plans to add 134 cameras to the existing […]

IHS: Electric Utilities And Oil Refineries To Increase Investment In Perimeter Security
Although most critical infrastructure sites are target applications for electronic perimeter security, electrical utilities and oil refineries are projected to have the most growth opportunity, according to a published note by Blake Kozak, senior analyst for access control, fire and security at IHS Inc. The global market size for electronic perimeter security sensors and video in electrical utilities and oil refineries is forecast to top $160 million in 2014, says Kozak. Electrical utilities have experienced strong growth despite the economic slowdown in 2011 and 2012. Part of this growth is resulting from the trend to use remote video and networked sensors in order to configure and maintain sensors from remote locations. For example, there has been demand to integrate video with detection sensors and network these back to a central monitoring station. This has helped increase demand for applications and locations where sensors couldn’t be monitored in the past. Another driver is the updates to the NERC CIP standards which are mostly concerned with cyber security and classifying / identifying critical assets, which could lead to a change in the security requirements for transmission substations. For example, NERC CIP Version 4 states any substation that maintains transmission lines at a capacity of 500kv or higher are now considered a critical asset. Solar power plants, oil refineries and LNG plants are also expected to be strong markets to sell perimeter security equipment, says Kozak’s note. The capacity of solar power is expected to increase dramatically, especially […]

KKR & Co LP and Bain Capital are among suitors which have placed initial bids for Tyco International Inc’s South Korean security systems unit, a business valued at about $1.6bn, people familiar with the matter said. Billion-dollar buyouts are rare in Asia, but security companies, when they come up for sale, tend to attract much interest from private equity firms as they are valued for their stable revenues. According to Reuters , a sale of ADT Caps, would follow Bain’s $3.4bn purchase of European security firm Securitas Direct in 2011 and Blackstone Group’s acquisition of US firm Vivint Inc for more than $2bn last year.
