CURRENT/PLANNED CRIME PREVENTION ACTIVITIES Those Cass County Rural School Districts that already have a video security syst m in place have found them to be a huge asset and success. Not only in assisting to solve cri es but also in preventing situations by intercepting the inappropriate behavior; such as a whe a fight or theft occurs or about to occur. The mere presence of the camera serves as a dete ent for criminal behavior. Knowing there is a possibly of video evidence deters the crim nal activity in that particular area. This project would be extremely valuable during the critical incident, but the valu of the system on a day-to-day basis should not be overlooked. Therefore, the effectiven ss of this project will be essentially tested daily. It should also be noted that response time 0 Rural Schools is lengthened because of their location. Northern Cass School was built ix miles from Interstate 29 and is basically a school on the prairie that services eight communiti s. The Cass County Rural School Districts have made a commitment to school safe by training a Deputy to be a School Resource Officer. With our rural schools so far apart, on more School Resource Officer is planned for the proposed Cass County Sheriff's Budg t. The ability to add additional security through video, audio, intercom and card access ill only enhance the capabilities of the Schools, the School Resource Officers and the She iff's Office.
