Some Preparations to Consider:
1. Put additional staff in te Sacctuary, one close to the front and one in the rear at minimum.
2. Do not allow unknown people to approach the podium or stage.
3. Keep security staff in the foyers and parking lots.
4. If you are not using radios for discrete communication, you need to start soon.
5. Be aware of your surroundings and the people in them.
6. Be on the look out for inappropriate conduct and suspicious activities such as people in unusual areas of the church, or sitting alone in a car in the church parking lot and surrounding streets.
7. Also, recognize the potential areas of concern such as the back parking lots, balconies, back stage areas or baptisteries.
8. Watch for people wearing unusual clothes that could hide weapons.
9. Watch for large packages such as duffle bags, music instrument cases that could hide a rifle or shotgun.
10. Watch for people that appear to be very emotional or distressed as well as displaying signs of unrest such as sweating or nervously glancing in all directions.
11. Watch for people entering after the start of the service.
12. Consider reducing the number of unlocked doors and funnel members and guests through one or two doors that are being watched by the greeters and security team members.
13. Make sure that you have medical staff available if possible.
Above All;
Know that God will watch over us and trust that He puts one of us in place if a wolf decides to attack our church.
Plan for the worst possible situation and Pray for Gods best for the church.
