flag University of Kentucky launches security center with 5,000 cameras, bodycams, and drones to cut response times and combat rising crime.

flag The University of Kentucky launched a new security operations center in August to enhance campus safety, featuring real-time surveillance from 5,000 cameras, live bodycam feeds from 90 officers, and remote drone control with infrared capabilities. flag The center aims to improve emergency response times—already under two minutes—and supports faster threat assessments, as seen during a false shooting alert. flag It is part of broader efforts to address a 43% increase in car thefts and a rise in burglaries and gender-based violence since 2023. flag Officials emphasize the initiative focuses on safety and investigation, not surveillance, and are promoting the Green Dot bystander program to reduce underreporting of sexual assault. flag The university also introduced a safety app and plans monthly press briefings to build trust and transparency.
