It appears that the only structured parkade security procedure the COV has in place at their own parkades is for those patrons who feel unsafe walking through a parkade to return to their vehicle, albeit that's for personal safety as opposed to vehicle security.

There is an old system of cameras in a few of the parkades that have the cameras at entrances and exits. There have been requests over the last 4-7 years to have a camera system put in that would show each space. I will say though that this is the first incident like this that I have heard of since I started in 1993. I will say unmonitored cameras do not provide much except for potential evidence, which in this case what will become of this incident in the courts in the end? Even if monitor and a dispatch is sent, the situation would have likely been nearly the same. I'm not trying to down play this, it's a very serious incident, like I said, perhaps the most serious I've heard of. I do not have all the answers or info on what happened either.
