Although violence is unpredictable, statistics tell us what’s us most likely to happen. That means we can prepare.
Only a few years ago, many churches and houses of worship thought a violent assault on their congregation was a far-fetched idea. Yet in the aftermath of multiple shootings, churches have begun to take security seriously. Some have created security teams and invested in training them. This is a positive development. Yet because of limitations on time and funding, it’s important to train and prepare for the types of incidents that are most likely to occur. In this webinar, we’ll identify and give guidance on the top three threats to security at churches and houses of worship.
