Book excerpt: Safety and Security for Churches and Other Places of Worship is a reference book focused on how to form a first responder team for churches, synagogues, temples, and other places of worship. It will assist team leaders on how to train for both security and medical emergencies, provide training aids and ideas, and how to write SOPs and legal issues. Trending violence directed at soft targets is growing, forcing places of worship to respond with highly trained personnel to quickly intervene. Many medical incidents can have drastically better outcomes if trained medical personnel render immediate medical care. For instance, the use of an AED in conjunction with CPR can drastically improve survival rates from 15% to 85%, versus just CPR alone. Topics covered include: Environmental disasters Acts of violence Active shooter incidents Bomb threats Unruly/disruptive persons Suspect control Sexual abuse Realistic training using fake wounds Tabletop exercises Team building Medical emergencies An equipment chapter helps to determine what equipment is a priority for teams limited by budget. Some equipment can mean the difference between a "friend" being mistaken for an aggressor, resulting in an innocent person being injured or killed. Safety and Security for Churches and Other Places of Worship is a must-have reference for anyone charged with the duty to protect those who attend and work at places of worship.

Book excerpt: When church leaders fail to provide for the well-being and protection of everyone involved in congregational programs, they are derelict in their duty to shepherd and protect the flock. A conscientious and well run safety program gives a sense of security and comfort to those who attend and helps provide an atmosphere where worship, fellowship, edification and service can take place without incident. Keeping Your Church Safe is a practical blueprint for churches covering all aspects of church security and safety for staff, premises and members. It's a well-outlined, easy-to-follow guide in establishing an effective security program for congregations of all sizes. "Given the uncertain times in which we live and increasing threats to our churches, Ron has written a practical, thorough, easy-to-read book that should be a textbook for any church. More importantly, he loves the Lord and His church and has dedicated his life to making sure Christ is exalted in the best and safest way possible." Bob Russell (retired) Senior Minister Southeast Christian Church Louisville, Kentucky "Addressing topics rarely discussed but realistic, this book is an excellent guide for church administrators, security managers, board chairpersons, volunteers or anyone serious about protecting our places of worship. It has been written as a result of years invested in "front line" experience. It contains the insight of a safety manager, site security chief, dignitary protection administrator and a special event commander, all in one." Major Bill Weedman (retired) Commander of Special Operations and Event Management Louisville Metro Police Department Ron Aguiar has been at Southeast Christian Church for 10 years as Director of Safety & Security, with an additional 10 years spent in public law enforcement and private security. Ron is a sought-after speaker, consultant to churches, para-church organizations and public law enforcement agencies. Contact Information: [email protected]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Legal, security and safety aspects of worship are not only important but also indispensable to the management of worship centres. Clergymen, church officials and worshippers are becoming increasingly aware of legal, safety and secured environment in places of worship. Incessant criminal and terrorist attacks against places of worship underlie the necessity of the book in knowledge of law, security and safety programmes to help worship centres officials and management. The compelling reasons for writing this book is to provide knowledge of the basic principles of legal, security and safety as they apply to the religious context and how they become a necessity for the future survival and existence of religion in Nigeria. This textbook is designed specifically to provide the much needed knowledge of law, security and safety directly related to religious organisations in Nigeria. It covers the basic principles of law, security and safety to problems of religion and worship centres. This book aims at exposing church administrators, worshippers and general public to the effective and efficient implementation of legal, security and safety policies, procedures and programmes in places of worship. It provides a general framework to the study of law, security and safety of worship facilities. The book is unique in many ways: it is not a mere catalogue of legal, security and safety policies, procedures, and programmes, but consists of their applications to practice of religion.
