    Private security

    I love that we do giveaways especially for our Veterans.
    But there's a group of people I feel that deserve acknowledgement as well that never qualify for "first responders" group.
    I need to know if there's enough of my fellow Security Officers here to do a giveaway.20180328_202858.jpeg

    Re: church security

    I have spoken to a friend who is a reserve pastor about his feeling the need to get his CCW permit. He told me as a Christian pastor he is a prime target for radical muz. In Iowa though I have never attended a church that has spoken about security or the need for it. I only live in small towns though. Maybe it is just common knowledge by the pastor that there are church members carrying. Lots of rednecks you know. Anyway, sorry to kind of go Off Topic. Maybe in the bigger cities it is addressed. Most of the towns I have lived in for the past 15 years have been 300-1,000 people.

    Security is everywhere now. The church I provided arm security for wanted me in uniform with the patrol car parked out front. Had nothing to do with actual issues, they wanted to be proactive primarily due to all the children on site during service. Plain clothed volunteers covered the services, I protected the front and main entrances of the building. First line of defense.

    I have definitely never seen anyone in uniform. I never thought about all the kids and an abduction. I only thought of an anti-Christian attack. I guess it’s not something the small churches worry about where I live. Lots of people carry here. Thx for the info!

    If volunteer security counts, then put me on the list. Churches can’t afford to hire professionals ya know.

    Same here. I'm one of 3 guys at my church that do security. Sad that we need it. We had a guy rush one of our deacons trying to steal the offering one Sunday.

    I provide armed security for two churches. Their belief with the current social climate is to be proactive.
