As a faith based organization, nothing is more critical to mission than your ability to reach and secure new members. We apply proprietary safety and security engineering, training and protocols proven to secure, protect and enhance community outreach.

Our methodologies evolved through a lens of multidisciplinary expertise. Our TEAM combines centuries of experience in Counterterrorism, Law Enforcement, Emergency Management, Clergy and more. This enables us to design bespoke solutions for meaningful preparedness that function in alignment with your mission, culture and values.

We can also help you become a source of hope for your entire community by becoming listed as a FEMA resource center. Not only will you qualify for grants to finance your safety and security objectives, but hold the blessing to provide shelter and life-saving supplies in the face of a natural or human disaster.

Our Process

As one of the largest Counterterrorism and Intelligence contractors for the Department of Defense, we are keenly aware of the human and natural threats to churches, synagogues and mosques across the United States. We know how to mitigate these threats in a way that maintains your open doors to the communities you serve. As specialists in the application of advanced safety and security engineering for places of worship, our knowledge is imparted to you in the process. Our process is unrivaled in thoroughness, efficiency and effectiveness.

Defense Grade Research.

We work with FEMA, DHS, federal law enforcement, local law enforcement and local emergency services to gain deep understanding of the daily human and natural threats you face. We conduct staff and security interviews to understand your operations, congregational behaviors, traffic patterns, foundational training and perceived vulnerabilities. We analyze facility blueprints, current and past threat mitigations, external grounds and the socio-political environment in which you operate.

We use this information to devise a tailored Assessment Plan to provide you with the highest quality end-product.

The Global Standard Security Assessment.

Our Safety & Security Assessment is the most thorough and dependable Assessment in the business. No aspect of your congregation, policy, training, operation, facility, geography or community is ignored. We assess safety & security holistically and make our recommendations through the lens of multidisciplinary expertise.

We take into account every aspect of your facilities, operations, culture and mission to design a bespoke Safety, Security & Emergency Management Architecture that fully mitigates all potential natural and human threats. Our recommendations are designed to align and support cultural and organizational mission and objectives.

Our holistic and multidisciplinary approach achieves the highest quality results and proves most economical over time.

Planning & Protocol Development to Enhance Security and Guest Experience.

Well trained acts of kindness and service enshroud surveillance, communications, situational awareness and team based response tactics. These preemptive safety and security protocols improve hospitality and service skills as well as the overall experience of your staff and guests.

Our foundational emergency management planning helps you prepare for, face and recover from all potential human and natural disaster events.

Security Engineering that Supports your Aesthetic.

Our engineers apply multidisciplinary expertise to determine structural changes and equipment required to keep you safe from all disaster types. We specialize in camouflaging security infrastructure with existing urban, architectural and natural environments. This reduces threats and mitigates criminal opportunities without compromising your designed aesthetic.

We regularly interface with designers, architects and construction contractors to build-in safety and security mitigations for retrofit, renovation and new construction. This includes security design, access control, surveillance systems and Info Sec using CPTED methodologies.

Real World Security Training that Creates Opportunities for Growth.

We’ve trained law enforcement, special operations, Secret Service and private security including church, resort and corporate security teams. This experience taught us that proper tactical security skills are not necessarily common sense. Lack of training and skills often becomes dreadfully evident during active shooter or other intense security events.

We deliver life saving hard and soft skills tailored to the environmental conditions of a place of worship. We impart real world skills that reduce the impact of violence through awareness of correct actions before, during and after a threat event.

Our approach is proven to work. We’ve seen many examples in which an active threat becomes transformed into an active member of the church.
