The state-run veterans home where a former soldier murdered three women last month had security shortcomings that the California Highway Patrol identified in 2010, according to an article on The Sacramento Bee website.
The document revealed the state’s challenge in policing a sprawling campus that houses residents, hosts programs for others veterans and opens its doors to community events, the article said.
The California Department of Veterans Affairs would not say which recommendations it adopted.
• Problems cited in the report included:
• No security at its front gate
• Few security cameras. The veterans department asked that The Bee not disclose the actual number of security cameras
• Inadequate fencing along the campus perimeter
• Spotty use of panic buttons and alarms at key buildings
