As a retired police officer and hostage/crisis negotiator I found this training is on point. I have recently initiated a security team for my church and will be overseeing several other areas as well. This training was a perfect mix for me to pass on to my security team along as well as our welcome team. Great Job Sir... I have also enrolled in "Leading a Church Safety and Security Program" course.
