How to Secure Your House of Worship
I get a lot of questions for listeners about my opinion on protecting houses of worship. Like me, many of you are on your house of worship security team. While I can share what I know, I don’t consider myself an expert at all in the field. Home security is vastly different from protecting a church.
My guest on this episode is Ami Toben of Protection Circle. He shares with us practical ways that we need to secure our facilities while maintaining a welcoming environment. Plus he reinforces that it is not looks like that determines a threat, but behavior.
