If anyone’s religious congregation or other more secular organization is concerned about their security protocols, please feel free to put them in touch with me. I’ve done a lot of work on that over the years. It would be an honor and privilege to help you/them out. I can always be reached through the contact a front pager tool in the drop down menu at the top right of the page.
For everyone’s convenience, I’m attaching a paper below this post that I did for a contact at DHS back in 2013 when I was assigned at US Army War College. It deals with what needs to be considered when working through security considerations. Some of you may find it of use for your synagogue, church, mosque, ashram, stupa, other house of worship, or other secular organizations you’re affiliated with in regard to this ongoing insanity. It is adapted from my 2006 article in Security Journal, which was derived from the work I did on anti-terrorism for corporate security at Disney University in 2004 (I’m a Mickey Mouse professor!).
Everyone try to have as good a remainder to your weekend as possible.
