Anyone thinking of causing trouble at Bishop Brossart High School should beware - Alexandria police can see you.In the past week the police completed an Internet link from the computers in their cruisers to the security cameras on the school premises.
That means police can view the school's security camera footage anytime and anywhere from their cruisers.
By fall, police hope to have connections with security cameras in Campbell County Middle School, St. Mary's and Campbell Ridge Elementary, said Chief Mike Ward.
"It is a safety issue," Ward said. "Having the availability to pull up security camera images if a problem in the school arises creates another level of safety."
Alexandria police are the first in the state to have a mobile link to school security cameras that can be accessed anywhere, said Ward, also second vice president of the Kentucky Association of Chiefs of Police.
The police can view footage from nine security cameras outside Bishop Brossart. The police plan to have views from seven more cameras inside the building by fall.
The cameras will be placed in hallways and cafeterias, not classrooms or offices, Ward said...
...The security cameras didn't cost the police department anything and use existing wireless Internet access in the cruisers and the school's security camera system.
