The University of Kentucky (UK), the largest university in the state, is home to more than 30,000 students and 15,000 employees. Set in the heart of downtown Lexington, the university houses three medical centers, including a Level I trauma center, 18 residence halls and nearly 100 other facilities across the institution.
As the university with the highest enrollment in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, the UK Police Department (UKPD) began searching for ways to increase situational awareness to ensure the safety and security of all members of the campus community.
