Tuminez declined to answer more detailed questions about campus security, citing a pending external review. The UVU campus had numerous cameras, including at least one overlooking the buildings around the courtyard. But public safety failed to keep up, said two former campus public safety leaders. Both former campus public safety officials each recalled Peterson telling them multiple times in meetings related to public safety funding about a decade ago that because a shooting had not occurred on campus in decades, it would not happen in the future. Patchy reception was a serious problem that could hamper public safety personnel from coordinating during emergencies, one of the former campus public safety officials noted.
