Brigham Young University (BYU) Adopts Genetec Operations Center

PROVO, Utah — Brigham Young University (BYU) has enhanced its security operations with the Genetec Operations Center work management system.

Located on a 560-acre campus, BYU is home to nearly 34,000 students and over 5,000 faculty and staff. The university’s security program includes 25 sworn officers, 15 security supervisors and up to 400 student employees trained through its Security Academy.

To better coordinate multiple departments and manage a broad range of responsibilities, BYU sought a solution that would unify operations and improve efficiency.

Customizable Workflows, Enhanced Collaboration at BYU

The Genetec Operations Center is integrated with BYU’s existing Security Center platform, allowing the university to consolidate tasks like dispatching, work ticketing, and activity tracking into a single system. This streamlined approach replaces disconnected tools and manual processes, helping teams collaborate more effectively and maintain clear visibility of their operations.

With Operations Center, BYU has automated several key processes. For example, routine tasks such as nightly code checks across campus divisions, equipment inspections, and building audits are now scheduled and managed automatically. This reduces the workload on dispatchers, minimizes the potential for errors and ensures tasks are completed consistently.

The mobile app also enhances situational awareness for field officers, providing real-time updates on assignments and facilitating compliance with operational procedures.

The flexible design of Operations Center allows BYU to customize workflows and reports to suit specific departmental requirements. From tracking officer locations to managing inventory and generating incident documentation, the platform adapts to support the diverse needs of the university’s security teams.

The system has also streamlined onboarding processes for new staff and student employees. By offering intuitive tools and tailored workflows, Operations Center ensures tasks are completed efficiently while reducing the learning curve for new team members.

The implementation of Operations Center has significantly improved BYU’s ability to coordinate security efforts, enhance communication, streamline data sharing, and centralize documentation and auditing processes, the company says. Automation of routine processes, such as inspections and daily reporting, reduces manual effort, freeing teams to focus on higher-priority responsibilities.

“First-time users of Operations Center immediately see how it benefits their organization—no extensive training required. It delivers quick and accurate results. Without Genetec, I can’t imagine how we’d manage all this information,” says Chris Autry, managing director of BYU Police and BYU Security.

Welcome to Gary Pearce Home Services' authoritative guide on Future of Dental and Medical Practices CCTV in 2026 - UK trends and technology . 1. The Regulatory Landscape for Clinical CCTV in 2026 As we move through 2026, medical and dental practices across the UK face unprecedented scrutiny regarding patient privacy and physical security. Clinical environments require a delicate balance: maintaining absolute patient confidentiality while ensuring robust protection against theft, vandalism, and false liability claims. The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has updated its strict codes of practice to reflect advances in AI-driven edge surveillance. For dental and medical practices to remain compliant, any newly deployed CCTV system must strictly adhere to the ICO CCTV Code , UK GDPR , and the industry-recognised BS EN 62676 standard for video surveillance systems. To achieve SSAIB Grade 2 or Grade 3 certification, practice owners must ensure that security data i...

The 8K Resolution Era: Why Forensic CCTV is Now the Residential Standard

# The 8K Resolution Era: Why Forensic CCTV is Now the Residential Standard For years, 4K (8-Megapixel) resolution was considered the "ceiling" for residential security. But as we move into 2026, the demand for **Forensic Clarity** has pushed 8K (32-Megapixel) sensors into the mainstream. At **CCTV Systems**, we are seeing a massive shift towards 8K installations for homeowners who require more than just "vague shapes"

Why Weapons Detection Systems Fail Without Proper Planning

The weapons detection market has exploded over the past three years, driven by heightened security concerns across every vertical market. Healthcare facilities, educational institutions, corporate campuses, and entertainment venues are all investing in advanced weapons screening technology. For security integrators, this represents significant opportunity – and significant risk. Unlike traditional security systems that can be “set and forget,” weapons detection implementations succeed or fail based on factors that extend far beyond technical installation. The difference between a profitable, referral-generating project and a costly support nightmare often comes down to understanding challenges that don’t appear in any technical manual. The False Promise of “Plug and Play” Vendors market their systems as simple to deploy and operate. The reality is more complex. Advanced detection technology may be sophisticated, but successful implementation requires integrators to think beyond netw...
