Why Your Volunteer Security Team Needs Protection
Sanctuaries are Vulnerable. Historically, sanctuaries have been vulnerable to violent attacks, from bombings at Black churches in the Civil Rights era to more recent shootings.
Hate Crimes are Rising. FBI crime statistics show that incidents in churches, synagogues, temples, and mosques in the U.S. increased 34% between 2014 and 2018.
Security Teams are Organizing. Recent high-profile mass shootings in the U.S. have prompted some faith leaders to ramp up security at their houses of worship.
Funding is Increasing. From $25 million in 2016 to $180 million last year, the federal government has steadily increased funding to help the faith community with security costs.
