We don't have a security policy or a carry policy. We will soon hire a GSO police officer to sit in his car in the parking lot. But we don't have an official policy, and that is on purpose.
Should the security team be armed? One question leads to another: Do we allow concealed carry in the service? That discussion would split the church. We have many altruistic young members who are pacifists. We also have many members who are in favor of an armed security team. They are all faithful children of God.
So, three years ago, I recommended to the executive pastor that we have no security policy or team, and that we have no policy on concealed carry. He agreed, and so it never comes up with the vestry or anyone else. Instead of a security team, we have a small group of watchers that walk around. When one finishes walking around, another leaves the service to walk around. When that person returns, another goes out. We have certain things that we look at, but we have no routes.
As for concealed carry, we leave it up to each individual to decide if they will carry in church, and expect them to follow the law, just as we do with many other things. They don't tell me or anyone else if they are carrying.
I'm in touch with other churches in our diocese, as well as a fellow at one church who advises others. Some have armed security, qualified trainers and paid up insurance. Others have something similar to what our church does. Insurance can be a big deal.
@cubrock, is your plan to get things straight with the insurer?
BTW, there are lots of other issues with security, from digital to alarms and locks. We will soon have it all wrapped up, but with our farming operation, and our diverse collection of ministries, it is complex.
