Editor Introduction
College campuses are meant to be places of learning, growth, and community. Fostering such an environment requires the deployment of policies and technologies that ensure safety and security. Considering the growing role of security technology in the higher education market, we asked this week’s Expert Panel Roundtable: What are the new applications for security technology in the college and university markets?

The recent uptick in demonstrations and encampments on college and university campuses puts pressure on the safety department to keep everyone safe. In addition to increased tensions among the university population, they also draw crowds of people unaffiliated with the university. At this time, it is critical that all security measures in place work as expected and that officers can be efficient with their time. Today, there exists AI-based software that can automatically identify outages both in the network and with the surveillance system’s ability to produce evidence of incidents. This relieves officers both of a burden and of unpleasant surprises at a time when they are relying so heavily on their security system to perform.
