IMO, I believe that there can be an effective balance between the use of uniformed church security as well as the use of plain clothes security. If the security ministry chooses to use the uniform/security vest for the personell
covering the outer perimeter parking areas, etc, these overt uniform markings should at least serve as a deterance to any pre-operational surveillance from a would be attacker or group. During a threat scenario, plain clothes armed security personell within the inner perimeter/main sanctuary need as much anonymity as possible in order to enable them to maneuver through a potentially crowded congregation with the intent to close the distance and either deal with, or incapacitate the known threat. In addition, depending upon the geographic location of the church itself, the availability of on duty police response times may vary. Again, just my opinion.
