Unfortunately, with high traffic volumes on days of worship, and an open door policy that most places of worship have, security can often be a difficult task. The safety of your congregants should be a top priority.

Unfortunately in today’s world, these places of worship are not always a place of safe refuge. From vandalism to theft or even attacks churches, synagogues, and temples are just as susceptible to an attack as any office building, store, warehouse or any other public space.
