Episode Details

Texas State University in San Marcos is implementing a unique security measure this fall, shifting camera monitoring from campus police to students. The initiative, named Operation Overwatch, aims to run around the clock once fully staffed. While some students compare it to a Panopticon setup, potentially raising privacy concerns, a criminal justice professor argues that student monitors could spot and stop crimes faster. The plan is expected to free up officers for patrols and emergencies, with hiring ramping up for the new semester.
