The Preparation of teachers and administrators to face school safety situations both current and future is imperative. Murray State University serves as the point of contact for the Kentucky Center for School Safety post-secondary activities, where KCSS staff is working to address the place of higher education in school safety issues. The focus of the post-secondary education component of the Center for School Safety addresses the needs of both pre-service and practicing educators, ensuring that the safety and security of Kentucky's educational communities are better served.

The efforts of the KCSS in the post-secondary area include college/university faculty development and delivery of school safety related curricula for inclusion into post-secondary coursework. In addition, the post-secondary components of the KCSS will address development of graduate and undergraduate credit offerings for pre-service and practicing educators. The mechanism/plan for incorporation of school-related safety instruction and programming emphasizes technical assistance and training to post-secondary institutions.
