WEST PLAINS, Mo. – Missouri State University-West Plains has been nominated to participate in the STANLEY Security’s “Together for Safer Schools” grant program, making the university eligible to win up to $100,000 in STANLEY Security installed products and services to help secure students and facilities within the campus environment, university officials said.
In its second year, the STANLEY Security “Together for Safer Schools” grant program provides the opportunity to enhance safety and security in the nation’s higher education institutions by awarding winning schools a share of a substantial grant of STANLEY Security installed products and services, officials explained.
Starting Jan. 19 and running through Feb. 13, students, faculty, staff, administrators, parents, alumni and members of the campus community and beyond are encouraged to vote for Missouri State-West Plains daily by going online at www.stanleysaferschools.com and voting for “mostate;” tweeting using #STANLEYSecurity and #mostate; or texting “mostate” to 334455.

“STANLEY Security offers a wide array of security products. Our campus could benefit by increasing the number of security cameras around campus, continuing to standardize door locks, securing automatic entrances and possibly integrating an access control system for areas that need restricted access,” said Scott Schneider, director of business and support services.
