Faith Based Active Shooters

---

 "A Prudent Person Foresees Danger And Takes Precautions.  The Simpleton Goes Blindly On And Suffers The Consequences"  Proverb 22:3 

 While we seek security in our places of worship, anyone who has watched the news as of late knows that Active Shooter events affecting churches, of all faiths, happen with far to much frequency.  We embrace the mindset of "Protectors Of The Flock".  Every faith has seen their share of crime affecting our centers of worship.  Many faiths have also found themselves to be targets of various "hate groups", classified as Violent Extremists, which can  require a different approach to counter.  Our strategy is to empower a congregation with the knowledge and skills  to remain safe while still being able to embrace those with troubled hearts.   We refuse to take a "one size fits all approach" and will work with you and your organization to meet your training needs.   

 We can provide Active Shooter awareness training to members of your  staff or congregation either as part of a regularly scheduled service or scheduled separately.   Some of our instructors have been featured presenters at national church conferences focusing on Active Shooter training.   These presentations are a great way for all members of a congregation to learn valuable safety strategies to  keep them safe no matter where they may be or what type of threat they may face. 

 Every organization needs good emergency action plans for a host of situations that may arise, especially Active Shooters, We can provide assistance in creating many of those plans.  Additionally, there are a variety of policies that church leaders need to make  decisions on, and our goal is to ensure you have all the information to make the best decisions that fit your organization's values.   

 Security  Assessments are a vital tool that any organization needs to be able to identify  where some of the risks are.  Often when leaders hear the term Security Assessment they think it will lead to high costs to  address identified risks, but with us that's not the case.  Many times a risk can be reduced, mitigated or even eliminated by a change in policy or actions.  Not every risk needs money to be thrown at it.  With a 20 year background in physical security for the  U.S. Military, conducting  threat assessments and Security Assessments and developing the corresponding mitigation strategies we bring that same expertise to you.  We have extensive knowledge and training in Violent Extremist groups and domestic terror organizations, some of which may target certain faiths or ethnic groups using Active Shooter style tactics.   

 We encourage churches to have designated safety teams, We refer to these as a Ministry Safety Team.   Often these teams are assembled with the greatest intent, but could be made better.  We can consult and advise on the various aspects of a Ministry Safety Team, especially as it relates to Active Shooters, and help you make sure your team is best poised to serve your flock.   

 Many locations may also have a school on their grounds.  In addition to providing Active Shooter training to faith based groups we are highly trained in providing School Active Shooter prevention and training.  Allow us to work with you to make your whole campus safe and secure.   Please take a look at our  SCHOOL SERVICES page to see the specific resources we can provide your educational facilities and staff.
