-
Security cameras in high schools are placed in areas where they can monitor activity as it occurs. While some argue that security cameras violate the privacy of students, they can actually serve the greater good in a number of ways.
Deterring Outsiders
Security cameras can help ensure that unwelcomed outsiders are not present in the school, which offers greater safety to students and teachers.
Peace of Mind
Security cameras can give peace of mind to current students, parents and teachers .because there is constant surveillance of the activities in the school
Discipline Problems Reduced
The likelihood of teens misbehaving decreases if they know they can get caught on camera.
Videotaped Evidence
Recorded evidence of an act of vandalism, assault or other crime can help law enforcement hold the involved parties responsible.
Frees Up Manpower
The presence of security cameras can free up manpower because the cameras can guard certain areas while other security officials tend to more pressing matters.
Good Reputation
When word spreads that high schools have security cameras, parents of potential future students and potential new employees will have a positive impression of the school's safety.
