The Children’s Safety Institute (CSI, www.ChildrensSafetyInstitute.com), is a recognized leader in school safety assessment and security plan implementation, and has been helping schools nationwide to implement successful safety programs.

CSI’s principals of the company and their consultants have an average of 30 years’ experience in education, law enforcement, and/or district level school safety and security services. They all possess the educational component necessary to conduct an effective assessment serving communities as teachers, coaches and/or administrators. The majority of our work has been in the K-12 marketplace, but we have performed assessment in the K-20 and commercial workspace arenas as well. In the past ten years we have performed “School Safety and Security Assessments” in over 30 states across the nation.
