Keith, my church DOES have radios so the church can feel good that they've supplied tools to the team. However, the proficiency level in using them is low. Children's ministry staff don't know how to use them because radio checks are never done. Three security members at various locations carry the radios but never use them even to practice communicating. Would you consider an instructional video? Parking lot security with a radio is likely useless when it matters. Ditto if they're needed inside near classrooms. Thanks as always.
Excellent observation, wisdom and summation as usual. Thank the Lord, finally our church is going deeper than surface level. Homeland security is coming to our church this month (Aug. 2025) to hold a class on active shooter prep and various other security issues that need attending. I hope this will be a catalyst to better prep.

Keith, the scripture you use to back up your theology regarding protecting God’s children is very sound. Have many written down and read them all.
Thanks and may God Bless you and your family.

Video of some kind is a great idea. At minimum it would make it so you know they have been given the info
