I know one small private school that has teachers who volunteered go thru formal security guard training/licensure. Those teachers carry concealed on their person each day. They also go thru active shooter training and other scenarios onsite. It’s a great model - albeit expensive. The parents, in general appreciate this more than the ‘gun free zone’ alternative.

wow - beautiful

hey guys. i just saw this announcement and thought i'd forward along to those in Williamson Co. The Williamson County Sheriff’s Office is taking pro-active steps to ensure houses of worship in our county are safe and secure. We are hosting our first church security training on Saturday, December 9, 2017 from 9 a.m. to 12 noon at the Williamson County Public Safety Center at 304 Beasley Drive. The WCSO has received several requests for security checks from churches in our community in recent weeks. This training is being offered in response to those requests. It will focus on vulnerability assessments, response to an active shooter, church security teams and emergency communications. Sergeant Leonardo Zollicoffer and Lt. Michael Fletcher will lead the training. It’s designed for church leaders and church security teams. Seating is limited to 100 registered participants with a two person limit for each church. If you have any questions, please call Sergeant Jonathan Barry at 615-854-6274. To register for the training, please email your name, address, telephone number and information about your church and the two church members who will be attending to Sharon Puckett, Public Information Administrator at WCSO at sharonpuckett@williamson-tn.org

I have both and love them both for dif purposes. I love the 43 for EDC w dress shirt / business attire w a IWB tuckable holster. It’s also great for summer months when clothing makes concealment more difficult (especially for smaller framed guys like myself). The 19 is great to carry when I would prefer to have more rounds. Plus 19 is easier to shoot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Long time lurker here but always enjoy the conversations. I am on the ‘safety team’ for a large nondenominational church. We have about 16-20 guys on duty any given Sunday covering all doors and watching the parking lot. We serve as volunteers and carry ONLY as private citizens exercising our 2nd amend rights. Our church does an amazing job training us in all aspects of our role - first aid, cpr, as well as other deescalation/ confrontational skills. But ultimately we are one of the first smiling faces people see when they walk in any of the many doors on our campus. Typically we are the first asked about finding the bathroom/classroom or how to get a replacement tag to pick up their kids, etc. I’m not a ‘professional’ at this by any stretch of the imagination but below are a few things I’ve learned that might be food for thought. - build a team and get good training - deescalation skills are huge in resolving conflicts in order to avoid force - soft hand techniques are helpful when non lethal force is needed - recognize that as soon as you're forced to pull your gun you’ve failed at your job. While you train to win a gun fight, you train harder to learn skills to avoid it in the first place. - know your baseline and keep an eye out for anomalies - keep focused outward. Once a threat is in the building risk escalates exponentially - look into radios so your team can communicate w each other - get lanyards so your presence is known and so you/the sheriff know who the ‘good guys’ are if something does go down - have the sheriff present at each service - research a waiver that team members sign recognizing that they are volunteers and any who carry, do so only as private citizens Also, there are many great organizations out there that can provide training for your team. Anyway...I hope this is helpful. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

FYI I went to the page on the first reply and wasn't able to download the form. Is that a 'benefactor' perk? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
