Rodnie Williams, a security and safety management veteran, founded 360 Stay Safe(TM) to offer critical safety information to students, parents and campus public safety leaders. 360 Stay Safe(TM) offers a comprehensive source of personal safety information for colleges and universities.
Asked to evaluate his campuses' use of the "Stay Safe at College" program, Raymond Thrower, the Director of Campus Safety at Gustavus Adolphus College wrote the following: "My career in campus public safety has spanned over 32 years, and 360's 'Stay Safe at College' is one of the best‐researched, best‐produced programs I've ever seen. This is an invaluable tool for helping students and campuses be more aware and better prepared today…. I encourage every institution of higher education to purchase and take advantage of the affordable 360 Stay Safe(TM) program."
In October 2008, 360 Stay Safe launched its "Stay Safe at College" DVD for college and university campuses.

According to Tracy L. Worsley, the Emergency Preparedness Manager for the Minnesota State Colleges & Universities, 360 Stay Safe represents "…some of the best training available on subjects most parents either don't know or forget to teach our children…As the parent of a recently graduated student and a soon to be entering freshman, I have ensured my own children have viewed and discussed these subjects…as a combat veteran, state emergency manager, and former security police officer, I want the over 380,000 students in my system to have the same access to this product as my own children."
