This interactive session is tailored to empower you with the skills and knowledge needed to effectively safeguard your house of worship. The workshop combines expert-led training with hands-on exercises that are critical in today’s ever-changing security landscape.

Part One of the workshop delves into the foundations of emergency planning. You’ll learn how to draft comprehensive emergency plans, set realistic testing schedules, and implement them effectively.

You’ll learn how to set up and train a dedicated threat assessment team, develop behavior-based analysis skills, and lead your church to a safer future. Another engaging tabletop exercise will challenge you to apply these principles in a real-life context, assessing risk and responding decisively.

By the end of this workshop, attendees will not only have a robust emergency operations plan but also the confidence to lead their church through potential crises.
