One threat to notice/see: What are the “apples (EVIDENCE) that fall from their tree”?? “As a man thinketh, so is he.” We speak from our hearts, and our hearts lead to actual behavior. pay attention to your “gut reaction” to someone too. Notice “red flags” in your own head about someone, AND DON’T JUST IGNORE THEM, BUT NOTE THEM IN YOUR “MIND-FILES”. And keep paying attention, not to act TOO SOON, but to think thoroughly WITH YOUR NOTED “EVIDENCE”. Then, when or IF you must act you will act with “rationality”. “As they used to say: “Look before you leap”. Or at the R/R crossing: “STOP. LOOK. And LISTEN.”
NEVER ACT ON AN “ASSUMPTION” OR WHEN YOU ARE UNCLEAR OR CONFUSED, BUT “COLLECT DATA/INFORMATION.” YOU STAY CALM, and just pay attention, and “collect”.
1. Have your head up looking around for people who have their head up looking around? You’re always supposed to have your heads up looking around looking for threats! That’s what a situationally aware self defender is supposed to do! 2. I repeatedly have to adjust my clothing because I have the weight of a gun and 2 spare magazines pulling always pulling my pants down. Daily concealed carry of a firearm is what a Citizen Self Defender is supposed to do! 3. Inappropriate clothing. I wear a light wind breaker to my office daily even when it’s middle of the summer heat because the temperature inside is usually a little chilly with the air conditioning. And it helps me conceal the fact that I am armed 24/7/365. Daily concealed carry of a firearm is what a Citizen Self Defender is supposed to do! Concealed is concealed! 4. I don’t let people I don’t know approach me and get in my personal space. I always take a step back in a bladed stance ready to fight or flight until I figure out why they approached me. That’s what a situationally aware self defender is supposed to do! 5. Eye contact. 99.9% people avoid eye contact, as I scan the area and walk around with my head up most people will look away or at best give a fleeting glance. The rare person who also has his head up and on a swivel and is situationally aware will lock eyes. Whether it’s a regular person or even police officers I make sure to try to engage them and give a head nod and break eye contact. It’s like hey buddy, I see you, I see you seeing me, I am aware, I’m not intimidated by you. Don’t start any crap and there will be none. Now get lost! If they are the good guy they will do nothing and if they are the bad guy then I let them know that I am aware of them and they should mess with someone else. At least that’s the idea. People sometimes stare at you or in your general direction for many reasons or at each other and when they get busted looking or checking you out they will immediately look away. I get that often usually because say politically incorrect things and I often get busted staring at the pink haired nose ring face tattooed 40 year old woman asking my self for the love of God why? So eye contact or no eye contact can mean anything. You have to put it into context I suppose.
Thank you for this very detailed and comprehensive video on how to identify a security threat. It is to the point and easy enough to understand so that every church can use it as a training video.
I'm an old retired cop. I walked into the grocery store not long ago and identified a potential threat in produce. Sure enough, this person tried to fight me in the bread aisle. I used some good old fashioned verbal judo to diffuse the situation. Point is, he gave off clues an experienced eye would pick up. Great video.
good video. good information. but tell dude behind the camera to stop fidgeting the zoom. set it and leave it. It degrades from the quality of the video. and is distracting.
I'm concerned about the church my children and grandchildren go to church . Because it's so spread out. And looks so ez to do damage. That I don't see much secret.
The truth is shooters have been doing homework and have avoided attacking places that allow weapons. The shooter on a suicide mission and not looking for a kill tally is another story.
5 tips equal to crystal ball! typical cop nonsense. Trying to predict who might commit the crime, not making harder for the crime to commited! So you've played you little mind game & somone meets all 5 inicators, what do you do? In order for them to be a threat they have to do something, commit an act. So basicly all you have is a suspicious person. Even if you investigate. The real threat could bust thru the front door. You're distracted. The real threat may have no conection to the suspicous person. This is why having a cop mind set is bad for security!

It was a pretty dumb list.
😂🤣🤣🤣😂

Thank you Joe for the feedback and I hope churches will use it and send it to their team for training!

Nice Bird! Great job in the bread section!
@@ChurchSecurityAnswers that could have produced an unleavened situation!!

So ya went into a store. Picked a fight with another customer & he backed down. You the man!
@@Soulcritic 😂🤣😂 if that wasn't a plot twist 🤣😂
Thank you for this excellent training.
Solid basics and well presented. Thank you!
Thank you Garden.....I hope it can be used by churches for training their security teams!

Tattoos and nose jewels good tip off . Never mind its the preacher . 😝
good video. good information. but tell dude behind the camera to stop fidgeting the zoom. set it and leave it. It degrades from the quality of the video. and is distracting.
Thanks man for the feedback! Thanks for watching.
👏👏

Posting notices that a church is protected by armed members or security doesn't help. It only gives a potential attacker or attackers advance intel.
The truth is shooters have been doing homework and have avoided attacking places that allow weapons. The shooter on a suicide mission and not looking for a kill tally is another story.
My insurance doesn't cover cowboy s#it anymore....good luck !!
siting a 1982 study…. there is more current information. Presentation is wordy and slow to reveal any real content.

I'm more concerned about FBI/KGB agents snooping in Church.
