The ones we know have CHL's yes. We have asked them to remain seated or down, and react only if they are in immediate danger or if someone near them is and we are not yet on scene. We will not tell someone they cannot defend themselves. . But with our active shooter plan, and they stragic placement of our people, it is unlikely that an active shooter will be able to get far undetected.Photoman wrote:Have you told them that?

Re: Church is considering posting 30.06
First, unless your church intends on getting a security license for you guys to act as "security". Change to a safety team. (Been through that with DPS already). Now for the CHL issue, Our church is not posted nor at this time do we intend to. We have uniform officers there and plain clothes. We do have CHL's we know that carry. Without going into detail of our plan, the short version is everyone is told to get down. If someone id's himself as a CHL'r we tell them to get down and leave the rest to us. We have no issues with CHL's, but we have plans and since they are not apart of our safety team they are not privey to the plans and we do no want any innocents getting hurt.
While we recognize that CHL's can play a part in the onset of an incident we want to execute the plans we have in place. Do not discourage the CHL's, they can play apart in the immediate response. We have enough folks strategically placed throughout that we can respond to any part of our church literally within seconds and if necessary place a chl holder with a LEO.
But, we do not want to expose anyone to danger that is not trained to deal with it. I hold a chl as well. But I have 15 years of law enforcement with two of that on a SWAT team. Most CHL's have the course. Nothing more. While we do not intend on posting our church, we do not want anyone responding to an incident that does not practice and train with us.
