Independent K-12 school safety consulting, training, emergency preparedness, and expert support.
National School Safety and Security Services helps school leaders strengthen safety, security, emergency preparedness, crisis leadership, and communications through independent, non-product-affiliated consulting and training.
Our work focuses on practical strategies, leadership, human factors, implementation, and the realities of operating PreK-12 schools.
Led by Dr. Kenneth S. Trump, our team works with public, private, charter, faith-based, and independent schools, school districts, education organizations, attorneys, and public safety partners nationwide.
We provide customized school safety keynotes, workshops, professional development, facilitated discussions, and team-based training for school leaders, staff, school boards, safety teams, and public safety partners.
Customized presentations on strategic school safety leadership, situational awareness, emergency preparedness, crisis teams, school security, crisis communication, and related K-12 school safety issues.
Facilitated discussion-based exercises help school and district crisis teams test emergency plans, clarify roles, challenge assumptions, examine communications, and identify gaps before a real emergency occurs.
Role-specific safety and emergency preparedness training for school secretaries and front office personnel, custodians and maintenance staff, food service employees, and other support personnel whose responsibilities are often overlooked in traditional school safety training.
Focused training for school safety issues that may require deeper attention, including school board and administration center security, large event and athletic event security, and other district-specific safety concerns.
Training for school bus drivers, transportation supervisors, aides, dispatchers, and administrators on active supervision, student behavior, emergency communications, evacuation, law enforcement response, and transportation emergency preparedness.
Training and consultation to strengthen administrator-SRO relationships, clarify roles and responsibilities, improve program governance, address discipline and law enforcement boundaries, and strengthen school-based policing programs.
Our consulting services help school leaders examine vulnerabilities, strengthen organizational systems, evaluate preparedness, and make informed decisions about school safety priorities.
Independent, comprehensive assessments examine more than doors, cameras, locks, and other physical security measures. Our work also considers supervision, communications, emergency preparedness, policies, staff practices, leadership, human factors, organizational systems, and implementation.
Advising for superintendents, school boards, principals, heads of schools, and leadership teams confronting complex school safety decisions, competing recommendations, community pressures, crisis situations, and organizational challenges.
Independent review of school and district emergency operations plans to identify gaps, clarify roles and responsibilities, strengthen communications, and improve the connection between written plans and real-world implementation.
Support for school leaders managing the operational, communication, recovery, and organizational challenges that follow a serious school safety incident or crisis.
Dr. Ken Trump provides school safety litigation consulting and expert witness services in state and federal matters involving school safety, security, supervision, emergency preparedness, violent incidents, wrongful death, and related claims.
His work includes both plaintiff and defense matters and draws on decades of direct K-12 school safety experience.
National School Safety and Security Services does not sell security hardware, software, weapons detection systems, cameras, access-control products, panic buttons, or other school security technologies.
Our recommendations are based on the needs of the school or district, not on commissions, vendor relationships, or product sales.
We help school leaders ask better questions, examine what can go wrong, understand the human and organizational factors behind school safety, and make decisions that can be realistically implemented and sustained.
School safety concerns do not always fit neatly into one service category.
If your district or organization is dealing with a specific incident, leadership concern, training need, assessment question, or emergency preparedness issue, contact us to discuss the situation and determine the most appropriate approach.
