In today's complex world, churches face unique security challenges that range from local disruptions to potential threats within the congregation itself. Traditional security measures alone may not suffice. Enter the intelligence analyst, a role well-established in high-threat sectors, the military, and law enforcement, but now emerging as a key player in church security teams.
Excellent article Keith! Assessment intelligence is a major part of keeping a church safe. It even could be entitled “Left of Bang“ which is a great book to read about anomalies that take place before the “bang“. Some form of it should be constantly employed whether a large church or small. Unfortunately, from my personal experiences, as a security, church team leader, pastors, and staff we’re not on board.
Keith, what are some common OSINT sources specifically applicable to church security, and how can I find such sourcing covering my specific area?
