SAFETY

Approximately 750,00 children are reported missing each year according to the U.S. Department of Justice.*  

Freaky statistic?  You bet it is!  Who wants to think of their child as a statistic of anything, never mind an abduction or worse.  But there lies the cold hard truth - 750,000 children a year.  What can we do?  Do we have an obligation to our kids and our community to do something?  YES WE DO!  The fact of the matter is, it won't go away and ignoring it won't help those at risk - the children.  Organizations have tightened up security nationwide to help decrease abductions, molestations and worse.  And so where are all those bad people going for more kids?  The churches, you guessed it.  How tight is your security?  How many times has a near miss occurred in your neighborhood?  How many times have you heard the phrase, "IT IS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY," and never did more than listen?  

These things don't happen to no one, they happen to children we know.  And just because it has not happened yet, don't doubt that something will eventually occur.  There are things we can do to protect our children.  Things that are obvious and obtrusive and things that are subtle and bring peace of mind to your congregants.  We suggest you start here and assess what you need.  After you have decided you must have this level of security kick it up a notch to cover your blind spots...It's better to be safe than sorry.
