WHY SHIELD OF STEEL
We understand that church security must be invisible until it is needed. Our officers dress appropriately for the environment, interact warmly with congregants, and maintain a posture of service rather than intimidation. We work with your pastoral team to develop emergency plans that protect without creating fear.
