Ohio governor announces $5 million in higher education security grants
The Office of Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced $5 million in security grants to go to 27 higher education institutions in the state to fund security enhancements. The awarded funds are part of the 2021 Campus Safety Grant Program funded as part of Senate Bill 310 of the 133rd General Assembly.
“The safety and security upgrades will assist campus law enforcement agencies and area first responders better prepare for and respond quicker to emergencies,” said Ohio Department of Public Safety Director Tom Stickrath.
