Securing the House of Worship - Comprehensive Manual: Developing the Church Security Team

Securing the House of Worship - Comprehensive Manual was created to guide houses of worship in the development of church security teams capable of actively defending against lethal threats of violence. Active defense is the ability to stop a violent threat, minimizing casualties and damage, and securing the scene prior to the arrival of law enforcement. This is accomplished by training select staff and parishioners who are thoroughly vetted and willing to form an armed security force.
