Dispatchers George Verras (left) and John Gomes

Did you know there are more than 900 video surveillance cameras throughout BWH’s extended campus? They record 24/7 and help Security keep employees safe inside and outside BWH buildings. The Command Center is staffed nonstop, and officers also monitor over 600 alarms. In addition to watching video feeds for signs of suspicious activity, dispatchers also respond to routine and emergency calls made to Security’s main number, communicate with external agencies and maintain the lost and found.

Staff should report safety concerns by telling a manager or calling Security at 617-732-6565. For non-urgent concerns, email BWHSafety@partners.org.
