Flowing Wells High School in Tucson, Arizona is completely new to video. While an investment in video has been on the discussion table for the last six years, each year budget priorities and lack of funds prevented them from investing in a surveillance system.
Video was not considered critical because Flowing Wells is fortunate to have few serious security problems. Incidences include the ever-common student fights, vandalism, and petty theft. While certainly not welcome problems, in today’s day and age these incidences are nothing short of expected in high schools. However, tired of dealing with several incidences of vandalism and theft each year, the administration at Flowing Wells hired security guards to patrol the school on foot at night.
