Hi all. At the last board meeting, due to all the craziness in the world right now and surge of nutjobs attacking places of worship we decided to consider getting uniformed armed security guard on the premises. Rather than go to one of the big box companies like Allied Universal or similar renta cops we are thinking about using a volunteer member from the congregation. Seeing as how the times where we'd need the security services are small, in short bursts and constantly. Think things like children classes on rotating weekday evenings from six to eight.
Having someone who's a familiar face may be easier and better plus they actually care, unlike a minimum wage rent a cop. I understand that these rent a cop services deal with insurance, training and liability on their end but what would we as a congregation have to consider if we wanted to use one of our own guys? What classes, liability, or other laws should be considered or is it too much of a headache?
