Atlanta Police to Patrol Atlanta schools

July 9, 2013

This coming school year every middle school and high school in Atlanta, will have an Atlanta Police Department officer patrolling its campus.

Deputy Superintendent Larry Hoskins told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution the police will build relationships with students and work to identify discipline problems before they become criminal matters.

The 55 officers will replace a less organized group of about 235 part-time, off-duty officers who moved from school to school and didn’t always work full school days.

Sgt. Gregory Lyon said the permanent officers will be like police working a beat, except their beat will be a school instead of a neighborhood.

The 55 officers will be distributed among 30 schools, and the officers will be required to go through training on how to work with students.

In this webinar, we are going to explore all the different cloud models used in video surveillance and cloud access control solutions. We will also discuss the rising trend of “Security as a service” and how this can impact the future of security buying, maintenance, and relationships between security providers and clients.

With the advent of Internet of Things (IoT) technology and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), the cyber security practices are increasingly getting integrated with the physical security practices.
