Publisher's Synopsis
All preparation for any task is useless without God. But even with God's help we must still do our part and prepare. His control of the outcome does not negate our responsibilities. "We prayed to our God and posted a guard..." Nehemiah 4:9 1 out 3 girls is sexually abused before 18. 1 out of 5 boys are sexually abused before 18. And we are learning that many instances of sexual abuse happen at church. Church volunteers commit 50% of all incidents of sexual abuse at church; 30% of such crimes are committed by church staff. A male pedophile will offend 151 times before he gets caught. These are staggering statistics. Crime against the church is escalating. The need for security in churches has never been needed more than it is now. Church security, risk management, and risk assessment are critical but many churches don't understand why. Active Defense explains why these things are so important and explains how to put a security plan in place. Active Defense explains everything from the importance of background screenings to being prepared when violence enters your church. Let us help you build an Active Defense that meets the growing needs of your church.
