Real-Time Coordination Center

The Real-Time Coordination Center operates within the Office of Public Safety and serves as a central hub for campus safety operations at the University of Arizona. The RTCC connects the right people, information, and resources to support awareness, readiness, and coordination across campus. It plays a key role in planning for large-scale events and time-sensitive situations and supports campus public safety operations, including at athletic events, university facilities, and parking structures and transportation routes.

The RTCC’s mission is to enhance situational awareness, strengthen coordination, and provide actionable information in support of public safety and emergency management.

The Real-Time Coordination Center:

  • Adheres to the University of Arizona (Interim) Security Camera Policy.
     
  • Enhances campus safety through coordination and awareness. It does not replace 911 or police dispatch. In an emergency, always call 911.
     
  • Leverages advanced technologies, including video management systems, alarm monitoring, mapping tools (including GIS) and real-time data analytics to support timely, informed decision-making.
     
  • Operates within established governance and privacy standards. Information and systems are managed in accordance with university policies and applicable state and federal laws.
     
  • Coordinates across university operations as needed, including in areas such as emergency medical services, emergency management, environmental health and safety, facilities services, parking and transportation, risk management services, and event planning and support.
     
  • Does not conduct video searches for personal requests. Camera reviews are managed through the Office of Public Safety and occur only in connection with law enforcement investigations, public records requests, or legal proceedings. For police assistance, contact UAPD at 520-621-UAPD.
