From the HS digital library blog (hsdl.org/hslog) ... another good blog site.
Here's at least a little more info on this supposed 2nd NPS facility in Shepherdstown.
Congressional Record Recognizes the Center for Homeland Defense and Security

See attachment below: "Madam Speaker, I am pleased to advise my colleagues of the 5th anniversary of the Center for Homeland Defense and Security, located at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA. NPS has always been at the forefront of military graduate education for all the military Services and no more so than 5 years ago, when the School was selected by the Department of Homeland Security to fill a critical gap in graduate level education for our current and future leaders of homeland defense and security. Since 2002, the Center has graduated nearly 200 students from the ranks of our Nation’s first responders-public health, law enforcement, fire, emergency management and other disciplines that make up homeland security, and from almost every State in the country.
The highly competitive application process and the rigorous academic excellence of the master's degree program ensures that Center graduates are having a significant impact on protecting the Nation. Moreover, the success of the Center in Monterey compelled the Department of Homeland Security in June 2007 to establish the DHS Homeland Security Academy in the National Capital Region. NPS was again called upon by DHS to replicate the Center's success by providing faculty and curriculum for DHS employees at the second site in West Virginia. At that time, FEMA Administrator Paulison said the following, 'The NPS master's program has a proven track record of building a national network of leaders who work across agency and jurisdictional lines to solve problems and protect the American people."
