We help you protect your people so you can focus on your ministry.
Churches and faith-based institutions in the United States are increasingly becoming targets for protests, predators, and even terrorists.
The openness of our churches makes them easy targets for criminals, terrorists, and other people seeking to do harm. Even small congregations are not immune as attacks are up over 36 percent since 2012.
Churches are becoming more aware of the need to address the security issue, but where to start? The problem with most security training is that it's reactive. It tells you what to do if an attack occurs. Barritus Defense is different. We believe the first focus should be on preventing it from happening at the outset. The best way to stop an attack is to see it before it happens. You can't do that if you don't know what you're looking for.
That's where we come in. We help you train your team and build a security program that protects your church so you can focus on your ministry.
