Description

Safety Response Team Procedures and Guidelines outlines a comprehensive safety and response plan tailored for houses of worship, covering various aspects of threat assessment, response protocols, and personnel training. It begins with an overview of the mission and vision statements, emphasizing awareness and guiding verses. The responsibilities and general instructions for different positions, including contracted security, are detailed to ensure a coordinated approach to security.

Sections delve into the structure and membership of security teams, including volunteer application processes and training requirements. Communication methods and warning systems are highlighted, along with procedures for armed congregants and responding to evolving incidents such as disturbances and active assailants. Policies regarding the use of force, regulatory authority, and handling high-risk, low-frequency events like bomb threats and natural disasters are also addressed.

The plan provides detailed procedures for lockdowns, evacuations, and handling medical emergencies, as well as addressing issues like sexual assault and suspicious activity on campus. It includes practical advice for large event planning and working with ministry teams, alongside individual roles during emergencies. Appendixes offer additional resources such as incident report templates, facility open and close procedures, job descriptions for various security roles, and definitions and references for key terms.
