Burglary, arson, robbery, computer crime, vandalism—these aren't fun topics to think about, let alone every day. But churches with their own buildings and properties must think daily about these issues, and what they are doing to protect their people and their assets. If your church hasn't spent much time evaluating ways to minimize its risks when it comes to these issues, now is a good time to start. If your church has addressed these topics, it's always a good time to review policies, procedures, and systems, just to ensure new vulnerabilities haven't arisen. The following five handouts will provide: 1) brief explanations on the risks associated with arson, burglary, computer crime, robbery, and vandalism; 2) ways to evaluate your church's potential exposure to these risks; 3) steps you can take to reduce those risks; 4) advice for policies your church can set up to protect itself. We hope this material helps you protect your house of worship as well as the people who work there and use it.
