Aaron Graves, associate vice president for campus safety and security at Duke, said, the University was looking for a reliable system to help protect its growing campus community with an undergraduate and graduate student enrollment of nearly 14,000 and 33,000 faculty and staff. “We required a campus safety and security system that allows us to quickly connect with students, parents, faculty and staff when events demand.”
