Real threats lurk in every community. The more we know about them, and proactively plan for (or even interrupt) them, the safer our people will be.
But how do we learn about them?

The first step towards effective and actionable threat information sharing is to know your neighboring faith-based organizations and your local law enforcement. Knowing them is more than just knowing who they are, having one conversation with them, and keeping their contact information; it’s about meeting with them intentionally and consistently.

Form a group of faith-based security operators to begin regular meetings. Start with just 2 of you at the coffee café at your church or at a public coffee shop ot café. You will both know others in this space. Commit to bringing a friend next month as you intentionally visit again. Then there will be 4. Make the same commitment again. Then there will be 8.

That is how a coalition is born.

Along the way, someone in your coalition will know a law enforcement officer concerned about (or even assigned to) the local faith community. Bring them into your circle. Keep adding each month, then develop an agenda for each meeting. Discuss known area concerns or current news affecting your faith-based community.

As your coalition grows, someone will know a trainer willing to give an hour of their services to train a collaborative group. For such a training, allow others from the churches in your coalition to attend. Not every trainee needs to be a coalition member, but they can benefit from training organized by that coalition.

Then you’ll begin to fall into a rhythm of meetings that include sharing information, training, best practices, and resources.



Think About it

Big-box store loss-prevention managers do this among themselves. Sam’s and other warehouse stores; Walgreens and other pharmacies; Kroger and other grocers. If they can do this without their competitiveness getting in the way, so can area faith-based organizations.

Most of life’s successes began with meeting someone regularly and intentionally.

A coalition is simply that. Don’t make it complicated – just start meeting. You’ll figure it out as you go (if you are going).

𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐁𝐮𝐬 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡!

This month, we’re celebrating the everyday heroes behind the wheel — our dedicated bus drivers — who safely transport students to and from school every day.

Being a bus driver isn’t just about driving a route — it’s about vigilance, quick thinking, and keeping our kids safe no matter what. That’s why ongoing training and awareness are so important. Safety begins with preparation, and the more our drivers are equipped with knowledge and skills, the better they can protect their passengers and themselves.

That’s where the 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐨𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝟒-𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐮𝐬 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬, 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 comes in — a course designed to help drivers:

• Understand why buses may be targeted
• Improve awareness around stops and threat areas
• Learn how to leverage bus mobility as a safety advantage
• Prepare to respond if a threat enters the bus
