How to Train to be a Safety Consultant for Schools

School safety is of the utmost importance in today's society. School districts throughout the United States have to make safety issues a priority --- from weapons on campus to traffic awareness. Many schools or their administrative districts have a budget for safety consultants, who can advise them or help them to create safety plans that work. Training to be a consultant is not hard, but you may need firsthand experience to back up your training.
