"I confess that I was hesitant about bringing in an outside group into to talk to our congregation about security. We are a congregation that values being welcoming and security doesn’t feel welcoming. I believe that Defend System patiently navigated the challenges and nuances of our congregation and provided us with a plan of action that helps us balance a sense of security and welcome. Our Security Team has valued the training they have received. Defend did a full assessment of our physical plant and operations. They showed us what needed to be improved and trained our members, staff, and preschool teachers and administrators. Brink has a very unique and applicable background, as well as a passion for what he is doing. I would recommend Defend Systems to handle your congregation’s security needs" - Rev. Donovan Drake, Westminster Presbyterian Church, Nashville, TN

House of Worship

What protection plans do you have in place for your congregation?

It is no secret that deadly force incidents at houses of worship are on the rise. Congregations, large and small, are continually evaluating their level of safety and security, vulnerabilities, and attacks as threats continue to change and develop.

It is incumbent upon every house of worship to have a safety team in place as well as plans, protocols, and training to address everything from a medical emergency to an intruder threat. We know that it can be a difficult position for leadership to seek out and develop a team from members of your congregation and we are here to help. We will guide you through the delicate but detailed process of developing and training that team as well as evaluating the physical security of your facility. We customize all training, plans, and protocols so they are specific to your facility, staff, and congregation.

    How Do We Work?

    The physical security and existing plans and protocols of your organization may be insufficient and expose you to certain threats and liabilities that may have simple and cost effective solutions.  We are here to assess your current vulnerabilities in all areas of safety and security and guide you through the process of remedy implementation to make your congregants and staff as safe as possible in this dangerously developing world.

    We have worked with several houses of worship and are happy to provide multiple references upon request.

    Church Security in Nashville

    It is no secret that deadly force incidents at houses of worship are on the rise. Every house of worship should have a security team as well as protocols in place to deal with any situation.

    We know that it can be a difficult position for leadership to seek out and develop a security team from members of your congregation and we are here to help. If you’re looking for church security in Nashville, we will guide you through the delicate but detailed process of developing that team. At Defend Systems we understand that not all disturbances and incidents require the use of deadly force. Often times it is a small protest, demonstration, or disruption by someone who may be mentally ill. Our development and training program will also include techniques to address and control the less violent situations. Our threat assessments start with a detailed checklist of items to assist you in identifying strengths and weaknesses in the design and composition of your sanctuary. We then compile a detailed training program based on those findings to include identified weaknesses, recommended improvements, and suggested protocols to be implemented.

Don’t miss the Ryman Auditorium, one of the country’s most popular music venues, and the Grand Ole Opry, the country’s longest-running radio show, with live performances three nights a week. RCA Studio B was the preferred recording studio of artists such as Elvis Presley, Dolly Parton, and the Everly Brothers.

    After selecting Brink and DEFEND Systems from a group of highly qualified candidate companies, we have been extremely pleased with the level of service and detail provided to our church. We were in the early stages of improving our overall safety plan and realized that with an organization as large as we are, we needed professional help. DEFEND has helped us work through the difficult proposition of being "safer" while continuing to be a church - which means being open to receiving those who want and need to be here.

    Our church used DEFEND to do a full assessment including physical and operational process improvement, as well as training for our members and staff, as well as the Westminster School for Young Children.

    We can highly recommend DEFEND Systems. Brink has a very unique and applicable background, as well as a passion for what he is doing, which comes through in all his communication and training.

    Scott Portis, Safety Committee Chairman, Westminster Presbyterian Church, Nashville, TN

    I highly recommend any business, school, church or private home to have Defend Systems do a walk through to see how you can improve the safety of your employees, congregation or family.

    Brink walked through our church facility to see how we can keep our homeschool students safe during our one-day-per-week program. Then, he gave the tutors a training with practical strategies on how to prevent and respond to an active shooter situation.

    I appreciated that Brink allowed his experience and personality to permeate the presentation. While it was intense, I did not leave feeling afraid.
