Church security, is everyone an expert?

[Coach]

No tactic works well or is best all the time.

Actions or strategies carefully planned for an end result can be good if the scene, elements and BG’s follow your scenario based training exactly. Otherwise, hopefully you will have the fundamentals to dance.

1st rule of warfare: No battle plan survives contact with the enemy.

In the movies they would have a couple computerized machine guns in turrets on the ceiling that waste anybody that fires a gun in the church.

Another question, my wife’s uncles church in Louisville has services for over 10K , how would you devise a security plan for that? You’d need a platoon or more to be effective.

Not sure if you're aware, but they DO have a platoon.

Robocop and lots of double A batteries.

To answer the OP's question, no.

I encourage churches to focus on the basics and not try to run some super sophisticated program.

Thats the problem, basics of what? There have been posts saying shooting is really all that is needed, commo and other stuff is overrated, and not needed?

Keeping doors locked. See something say something. Greet and guide strangers.

Not every church security issue needs a firearm, if that’s all the training you recommend you’re setting them up for failure.

Having had many ministry experiences over 35 years, MOST security issues in a church don't need a firearm.

Petty theft, vagrants, basic building security, keeping track of teenagers (if you know what I mean...), directing the "would be prophet" away from the senior pastor before and after him speaking, disruptive attendees that want to exhibit strange worship habits, securing the offering money, etc. These are 99% of the issues that church security face.

That said, I keep my eyes open when I pray, know the exits, pack high capacity with an extra mag, every Sunday.
