P URPOSE CCAC is committed to enhancing the quality of life of the campus community by integrating the best practices of safety and security with technology. A critical component of a comprehensive security plan is the utilization of a surveillance camera system. The surveillance of public areas is intended to deter crime, assist in the protection of the health, welfare and safety of the College’s students and staff, and prevent destruction or loss of College property. The use of surveillance systems constitutes an extension of the College’s law enforcement and security function. These guidelines are provided to formalize the process of installing surveillance equipment on College property and to establish requirements pertaining to the viewing, retention, dissemination and destruction of recordings made through or stored on the College’s surveillance systems. I NSTALLATION P ROCEDURES AND L OCATIONS Requests to procure and install surveillance cameras and/or related systems, together with the proposed installation locations, must be submitted in advance for the review and written approval of the Executive Director of Emergency Management/Safety & Security and the Chief Facilities Officer. Surveillance cameras and systems must be installed and configured to prevent tampering with or unauthorized duplication of recorded information and must be compatible with and capable of connecting to the College's approved networked software system. Surveillance cameras and systems may only be utilized to surveil or record activity in areas in which an individual does not have a reasonable expectation of privacy and must comply with applicable law and College policies. V IEWING Only authorized personnel, as identified in the table below, shall be granted access to College owned or operated surveillance systems or to view surveillance feeds or recordings. All other requests to access College owned or operated surveillance systems, or to view or access surveillance feeds or recordings, must be submitted to and reviewed and approved in writing by the Executive Director of Emergency Management/Safety & Security and the Chief Facilities Officer. The existence of this procedure does not imply or guarantee that cameras will be monitored in real time 24 hours a day, seven days a week; however, the College reserves the right to do so.
