Church Safety / Security Instructor: Thomas Benson III Henry County Sheriff’s Office
THE 100% EXPECTATION The aggressor chooses the time, the place, and the mode of the attack. That is how it is - we cannot change this reality. When we are always playing defense - it only takes one mistake for the aggressor to score. The aggressor can be effective 1% of the time and still hurt us severely. We can be 99% effective and still get hurt. As security personnel we are under pressure to perform 100% of the time. We must constantly look at our security system as an aggressor would look at it. How would you penetrate your own security?

Whether it be an incident where there is fear of destruction and injury to someone, or if a medical emergency comes up and if you are prepared to handle it. • Always know your surroundings!
