The Technical Division’s main priority is system control and management of the physical security components on campus. They are comprised of 6 individuals: Security Systems Director, three Building Security Authority Support officers, a UK Radio Systems Coordinator, and an embedded technician from our Securitas access control partner.
The Technical Division is customer service driven – handling requests from many different entities throughout the University. We are responsible for adding or removing access; setting lock schedules; maintaining Talk-a-Phones and cameras; and overseeing the continual expansion of the access control and video management systems.
Since 2012, the video management system has grown to have more than 4000 cameras throughout the campus. Along with that, the access control system has grown to include more than 10,000 electronically controlled doors across residence halls, academic buildings, and the medical center campus. Along with electronic security, the Technical Division also manages the campus radio system. We have a radio technician that specializes in this filed in order to provide excellent service for our campus partners with radios.
