Safety Team Planning, Administration and Consulting

  A site assessment is a key component of church safety and security. The site safety assessment identifies potential risks and helps to determine the focus areas for risk mitigation and training.

 A comprehensive safety plan helps ensure that all safety team members are consistently trained to respond to potential situations and that they understand their individual and team roles and responsibilities when executing the plan. 

It is also important that a Safety Team have a set of Policies and Procedures to ensure fair and equitable recruitment, training, performance of safety team duties and, if necessary, disciplinary action. 

Guard The Flock will conduct a comprehensive Site Safety Assessment and work with the safety team to develop and implement a safety plan. We can also provide a basic set of policies and procedure or work with safety team, and church leadership, to customize them to the church’s requirements. 

It is not enough to just be “trained” in emergency response. In a critical incident or emergency situation, it can be chaotic. Critical thinking and fine motor skills can be seriously diminished. To help overcome these diminished capabilities, training scenarios place team members in safe, realistic, simulated situations to reinforce concepts learned in the classroom and build good habits and develop  “muscle memory”. While it is impossible to prepare for every potential situation, training scenarios expose the team members to a variety of potential situation from which they assimilate knowledge and experience that can be applied to future unique situations as they are confronted with them.  

  Guard the Flock conducts onsite training scenarios to prepare the safety team to respond to a variety of emergency situations including:

• Active Shooter/Attacker
• Suspicious Persons
• Disturbances
• Medical Emergencies
• Evacuations
• Shelter In Place
• and More
