Missouri Western Remembers
Commander King
Commander King’s legacy and work touched so many at the MWSU community, and his mentorship of law enforcement officers and students at MWSU will continue to impact our community for decades to come.
“In his brief tenure, Cmdr. King had a huge impact,” University President Elizabeth Kennedy said in a statement. “Recent classes were larger than they have been in years, with more than 50 law enforcement officers beginning their career in the last year and a half.”
