Video surveillance purchases, installations and access requests

All video surveillance device purchases and installations for Purdue University owned buildings must be coordinated and approved by the Purdue University Police Department (PUPD).

PUPD oversees and manages campus video surveillance systems, including establishing standards for camera types and ensuring placement aligns with the university’s overall public safety strategy. Departments and units must consult with PUPD prior to purchasing or installing any surveillance equipment.

For new camera purchases or installations, coordination with PUPD is required to ensure compliance with campus standards and integration with existing systems.

For requests related to camera views or access to footage:

• Submit a request via email to Captain Allen Myles at abmyles@purdue.edu, including the specific views needed and a clear business justification tied to job responsibilities.
• For one-time footage requests, complete the Camera Footage Request Form and submit it electronically to Lt. Nick Crosby at nacrosby@purdue.edu. While the form will be available online soon, a copy may be obtained in the interim by contacting Captain Allen Miles or Lt. Crosby.

Following these processes helps ensure proper use, security and consistency of video surveillance systems across campus. The most current policy and applicable documents can be found here.
