Being a volunteer member of your church security team is a demanding responsibility. You invest considerable time, effort, and expense training and learning as much as you can to be able to properly respond to any emergency that may occur during a gathering of your church.
The threat level against houses of worship in America is both real and rising. Since 1999, we’ve seen an increase of more than 2,400% in violent events against churches. There are many contributing factors, but one of the most significant is that churches have long been perceived as “soft targets.” Is your church a soft target?
By nature, they are open and welcoming environments—and that openness, while essential to their mission, can create vulnerability if security isn’t intentional and proactive. Is Your Church Prepared, Ready To Act, React? Does it have a Safety Plan?
