Extra security precautions will be in place during the holidays with tensions running high because of events taking place throughout the world. Synagogues, temples and churches are requesting added security guards to protect their houses of worship. Other religious holiday events including festivals and concerts, are also getting special attention.

World Events Hit Home. Although wars are being fought thousands of miles away, emotions are high here. Those emotions can cause some people to act out. We’ve seen violence against religious groups around the U.S. When planning security for a house of worship or other religious event, contact an experienced security guard company whose staff will come to your facility, walk the property and review your security issues.

Security guards should be on site before, during and after an event. They should secure the perimeter, monitor who is coming and going and be stationed inside so there are no disturbances. Once patrons begin to leave the area, guards need to be in parking lots and garages so visitors can get to their cars safely.

As long as tensions remain high, these kinds of security precautions should be considered, even after the holiday season is over.
