The University of Oklahoma
Security System Operator Training

Welcome to the Security System Operator Training. Below is information and a quiz regarding operating security cameras on the University's campus in accordance with the new Security Surveillance Camera Guidelines (the "Guidelines"). Please review the Guidelines before taking this training.
Campus law enforcement is responsible for appropriately protecting information that may have been captured by cameras under its control. All recorded images should be accessible by Security System Operators only as approved by campus law enforcement, and configured to prevent unauthorized modification, duplication, or destruction. Requests by University departments or employees to review other University department recorded images for official University business must be made to campus law enforcement and shall follow the Guidelines for Requesting Recorded Images from Security Surveillance Cameras.

Requests for access to or release of recorded images by individuals or entities outside of the University and/or for purposes other than official University business (such as an Open Records or Freedom of Information Act request) must be forwarded to the Open Records Office, which will review the request and make the final determination. Only the Open Records Office may make such determinations.
