The Johns Hopkins University Security Action Plan Update #3
Dear Students: This is the third in our series of regular updates on the implementation of President Brody's security action plan for the Homewood campus, which is available online at www.jhu.edu/news/home05/jan05/trinh9.html. Work has begun on the installation of the 32 cameras that will constitute the first phase of a video surveillance system on and near the Homewood campus. There will be combined camera/emergency phone units at Wolman Hall, Steinwald Alumni House, the Smokler Center for Jewish Life and the Bunting-Meyerhoff Interfaith Center. The early work also includes installations around the perimeter of the Homewood Apartments. On campus, the first phase will include cameras around the AMR and at the Mattin Center, Eisenhower Library and the Beach. Though it was not part of the original security action plan and is not a part of the university housing system, the university has taken steps to improve security at the Dell House. The university's management company is installing video cameras in the lobby. The cameras will be wired into the building's cable TV and buzzer systems, allowing tenants to use their TVs to view anyone seeking entry into the building. An emergency 911 phone is being installed in the lobby. Also at Dell House, additional lighting has been added to the side and rear of the property. The expanded Committee on Homewood Safety and Security will convene this Wednesday, March 2, for the first of at least four meetings over the next two months. The committee roster is appended to the bottom of this message.
Sincerely,
Jim McGill (Chair)
