Camera Problems

The external security cameras that broadcast views of the parking lots and other areas of the campus are fully functional and working the way they should.

That’s what most of the school community has thought anyway.

But, over the course of the summer and into the fall, only four cameras were transmitting images to monitors in the campus security office. That means that the the cameras that were intended to enable surveillance were ineffective earlier this semester when students’ possessions were being stolen from their cars in unusually high numbers.

According to Robert Szkodny, head of security, the problem started back in June when the security office, which was then stationed next to the testing center, was moved to its current location near the elevator on the first floor of Somerset. Click here to read more.

The Record is the online newspaper of the RVCC community, designed, produced and written by students. With a focus on RVCC news, profiles, features and opinions, we publish regularly throughout the semester. Publishing online enables us to present material in a variety of formats, including print, photo gallery, audio and video.

To put out a quality newspaper requires many student volunteers: web designers and production people, reporters, writers, photographers, videographers, and even advertising reps.

If you would like to be part of The Record club, send us an e-mail. We meet Wednesday, 4:30-8:20 p.m. in cafeteria upstairs, but you don't have to be available during that time to be a part of the team.

Got a news tip, story or upcoming event you think the RVCC community ought to know about, send us an
