Church Security Team Member Killed

On Saturday, April 12th a deacon and church security team member, Eddie Shed, was killed while trying to protect others at an Easter Egg hunt in Gulfport, MS.

Earlier this year, Boondocks launched a new series of articles called “Sermon on Security” specifically focused on church security. This effort is spearheaded by Kevin Jones and Jeff Williamson. Both are Boondocks’ instructor with multiple certifications including NRA, USCCA, Rangemaster and more. Jeff leads training for his Church Security Team and Kevin leads his church as their pastor. In total, our instructors have over 100 years of combined experience in training teams (both on AND off the range), leading teams in our churches, and serving in security roles at places of worship, bringing law enforcement, military, and civilian security experience to the table.

This month, much of our newsletter will focus on church security in order to help other teams be better prepared. Whether big or small, we can tailor assistance and training to meet your security goals for your place of worship. A great option is our new Active Shooter Armed Response Class that was developed primarily for Church Security Teams. We also offer a FREE initial capabilities/training brief at your location and at a time of your choosing. Contact us today to schedule a presentation at your place of worship.
