I just kind of assumed Glynda arrived because Ozpin has been keeping an eye on what's been going on with what Cinder and Torchwick are up to. Torchwick went to rob yet another Dust shop, the old man may have called the police while Ruby distracted Torchwick and the henchmen (that whiny European-style police siren that played during Roman's escape to the roof suggests this, considering it's not part of the music), and Ozpin dispatched Glynda to go take care of it in case the police couldn't get there in time or handle Torchwick or in case Cinder was there.

But yeah, we do always have to consider the fact that Ozpin somehow has cameras everywhere and sees everything. I'm guessing when they showed Ruby the recording of her beating up the henchmen, she assumed they got the footage from traffic cameras or something and brushed it off as that being the only possible explanation. Because, really, let's face it, the thought of someone being able to constantly monitor everyone is pretty creepy.

With Qrow... well... Apparently, Qrow sees and hears things that Ozpin and Ironwood don't, so Qrow has a way of getting info that Ozpin and Ironwood can't. We just don't know how yet. Is he a spy in the White Fang? Is he spying on the White Fang some other way? Does he have his own special way of monitoring people? Add in the crows we saw in the beginnings of the Red, Black, and Yellow Trailers... and I just had an epiphany why there wasn't a crow in the White Trailer. Qrow was watching Ruby and Yang because they're his nieces, and he was watching Blake and Adam because he's been spying on the White Fang. There was no reason for him to monitor Weiss while she performed a song for what looked like hundreds, maybe over a thousand, people.

The question is if he literally spies using crows, or if those crows were just a metaphor for "Qrow is watching."
