Church security is a hot topic these days with all the crazy incidents. Security of all the church members and visitors are a must. Short list below.
1. All persons taking care of nursery or kids need to be vetted, you may not know if you have pedophiles, but do you know you don't??
2. The team needs to be trained to handle the situation with the least amount of force, ie. don't shoot a guy that can be escorted outside and the cops called. But if shooting him is the only course of action do it.
3.Sometimes things like fire extinguishers, first aid kits, AED are overlooked.
4. Computer security.
5. Cameras at every entrance and as many areas like parking lots as possible, with multiple monitors and multiple people viewing them.
6. Everyone needs to take the security of their church seriously.
7. As many people watching as possible, my son's church also has 1 or 2 guys in their trucks in the parking lot keeping an eye on the entrances. The guys in the trucks have rifles just in case. You know a van with 4 people could roll up and do a lot of damage real quick.
FYI we just joined a church last month and 1 of the reasons was their security team, I am getting older and it is comforting to know that somebody is watching out while we are in our services.
Hope everyone helps to make their church safe.
