Kilgore College police chief Martin Pessink has announced that the college has upgraded its already state-of-the art video surveillance camera system in an effort to better protect students and employees.
The cameras record 24 hours a day and the police staff can monitor the live video feeds at any time. “The camera system we have in place now covers most areas of campus, whether it’s parking lots, common areas or inside buildings,” Pessink said. “The upgraded system will better protect our students and hopefully keep crime to a minimum.”
The CCTV cameras are also present in dormitory common areas, and resident assistants can also monitor those video feeds.
The former police chief started adding surveillance cameras in 2007, and states that in some areas crime has been reduced to zero since, “people knew they were being watched.”
