The acquisition followed a spate of crime around the Harlem campus at the height of the pandemic, according to campus officers. “A big part of why they don’t want us to have body cameras is it’ll show what’s really happening on the campuses,” one veteran CCNY officer told The Post. Body cameras purchased for public safety officers to use as part of a pilot program at City College of New York have collected dust for years.“You’ll see some of the interactions we have, where faculty, staff, even students may be completely in the wrong, and they don’t want that behavior leaked on the news.

Shortly after the school sent the proposal to CUNY’s central office for review, however, Andre Brown, the university system’s executive director of public safety, put the kibosh on the program, leaving the cameras to sit in boxes for years, CCNY officers said.Campus officers think the school doesn’t want to public to see the crime and violence that occurs on campus.
