Welcome to members and guests visiting church security member forum. If you are a guest, you may register to use the forum. You may post to general church security topic forums, but cannot access the membership level topics. Much of our content is sensitive law enforcement related information related to defensive tactics, weapons training, and things we don’t want kids or bad people to access.
We would love to have you join Church Security Alliance. When you do, you will have access to the entire site, as well as discounts on self defense and surveillance equipment.
I'm trying to find the best deal for purchasing 1 or possible 2 AED's for our church, as part of the medical side of our safety ministry. I have looked at the offer on this site reference the possible free or reduced price on AED's offer. If anyone has gone this route was it a good way to go?
Any information reference the best way to go in purchasing an AED, including the best type, brand, price etc. would be greatly appreciated.
I was instrumental in getting our church to purchase an AED. However, I left the details of purchase to one of our medical people.
We bought a Phillips, and it pretty much walks you through everything step-by-step. I was recently told that replacement batteries cost around $150, though. I found since then that some units run on the lithium CR123 batteries that are available locally for about $4 each.
Thanks for the info. I may do the same and have the medical side handle the purchase but thought perhaps I could gain some valuable information via the forum first. The information re: the cost of replacement batteries for the Phillips AED was exactly the kind of info I was looking for. Thanks for sharing!
You may want to check with your local EMS provider to see what they recommend. It is possible that they may use similar equipment and when responding to your facility, they can just plug your pads into their machine and go. Making for a more expedient transport of the patient.
On the same idea. If you are a larger congregation, It is a good idea to have some type of trip sheet that makes two copies to be able to just give to EMS with all the pertinent info on it. Your safety team can have all this info ready for them when they get there.

GUN Shot Avoidance Video!
Dear Glen and Jack,
I recently subscribed as a Church Security member, and subsequently purchased the Church Security CD and Manual Starter Pack. I am a retired law enforcement officer, who appreciates the effort that you have put into your material. Since I retired from the Missouri State Highway Patrol in December 2006, I have been doing private consulting and investigations. During my MSHP career, I was a certified trainer in defensive tactics, to include reactive firearms training (red-handled gun), so I appreciate the spirit with which you have developed and tailored your program to the church.........
Last week, I provided our pastor with the gunshot avoidance video that was included in an E-mail that you sent out last week. He was very impressed with the content, and the way in which it was presented.......
My pastor has requested that I accompany him to the next church conference meeting, to address the conference about security issues, to include gunshot avoidance and the security manual ........
Kindest Regards,
Rick W
Our Security Team was APPROVED!
Hi Glen and Jack,
Well, my partner and I met with Pastor this morning at his request. 100% positive results. Pastor has given us the go ahead to get a risk assessment done, add a couple to our team, outline plan/policy/procedures, contact local law enforcement & fire depts, contact our insurance underwriter, etc etc. Pastor has actually felt the need to do something for some time now, but we'll start small and work our way up, and we're all pretty excited about it.
Your "Basics...How to get Started" manual has been a great help. I'm not sure our presentation to Pastor would have been as effective without it. My partner is impressed with it too, and is ordering his own copy, so he doesn't have to swipe mine. ........
Thanks for all your help. God bless.

Comments on Church Security Startup CD Kit
I received your kit a couple weeks ago. OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!
Without going into too many details, I will just tell you that it saved me weeks of work. You thought of things that I never would have considered and put it all at my finger tips.
Thanks for your guidance and support.
God Bless,

The Church Security Ministry.....is such a vital part of our church ministry. People come to hear the wonderful message of Jesus Christ...the church needs to be a safe place.
Our church security team provides our church family the freedom to focus on ministry while they keep the environment safe and protected. It is a new day in church life and this ministry is a must!
Whenever there is a church violence incident we get a lot of questions about CCW. This is a moral choice each organization must grapple with in light of Scripture. The organization below can shed light on the topic better than anyone from a legal perspective. Click on the button below.
