aboutAbout CSN

Our Organization

Since 1989 CSN has been making America a safer place for children to live.  Our mission is to reduce the likelihood of children becoming victims of abuse, abduction, exploitation and injury.  We accomplish our mission by developing and implementing educational safety programs on a global basis.  CSN acts as a true "network" when it comes to implementation.  We have worked with the world's largest service organizations as well as local, state and federal agencies to accomplish our mission.  Over 250 U.S. representatives including the office of the President have endorsed CSN's efforts in writing.
