Beyond the Campus Perimeter: UCLA’s Approach to Fixed LPR

See how UCLA is using fixed LPR to strengthen vehicle visibility, support investigations, and build a more connected approach to campus safety.

Session Details

A university campus isn't just classrooms and dorms. UCLA's public safety footprint covers academic buildings, athletic venues, schools and childcare centers, a Level I trauma center, and, starting in 2028, the Olympic Village. Keeping tabs on a campus that large and that open takes real coordination, not just more cameras.

Join us for a webinar on how UCLA Police Department is building fixed license plate recognition (LPR) into its campus safety strategy.

Captain Scott Scheffler will walk through how UCLA got here: where better vehicle visibility could actually help investigations and safety efforts, and how they're building infrastructure that won't be outgrown as the university's needs change.

We'll also get into how UCLA is connecting license plate data to its broader public safety systems, so authorized teams can pull up what they need without jumping between disconnected tools, while still keeping tight controls on who can access what.

What you'll learn:

  • How fixed LPR helps UCLA track vehicle movement across a large, open campus

  • Real ways this data gets used: investigations, missing persons cases, known threats to the community

  • What it takes to plan a deployment like this across public safety, transportation, parking, IT, and other departments

  • How LPR fits into a bigger technology strategy for faster, more coordinated response

  • How UCLA sets up access controls so the right people see the right data

  • How they're getting ready for major events, including their role as a 2028 Olympic Village site


Captain Scheffler will close things out with a live Q&A; a chance to ask him directly about UCLA's experience and what other schools should think about before deploying fixed LPR.

Discover how fixed LPR is advancing campus safety at UCLA.
