No one expected what
happened
On April 19th, 1995, the residents
of Oklahoma City did not expect…
Who would
have thought
that on
August 10th
1999,
innocent lives
would be
violently
affected by a
white
supremacist?

Nature of Security
 NOT a program, event, or evacuation drill.
 NOT only fancy locks, cameras, alarms or walls.




SECURITY IS:
A reflection of the Care, Respect, Responsibility we
exhibit towards the institution and its
members/congregants.
A conceptual mindset
The application principles and procedures we’ve
been taught since childhood
An investment in education, training and the
creation of institutional discipline
8
A Human Process
 Security is not mechanically driven.
 There has never been a physical barrier
that humans cannot go around, under,
over or through.
9
Vigilance, Vigilance, Vigilance
 Every employee must assume responsibility
for security
 Ongoing, Constant Training & Attention
 Security Devices are not enough.
 Every mechanical system will break down,
every human will make a mistake. Security is
designed to mitigate these realities.
Perseverance * Consistency
Commitment * Responsibility
We are relying on your personal commitment.

What Do We Learn From
Pinky?
 WHEN IN DOUBT ALWAYS PRESUME
DANGER
 WHEN SECURITY IS A TOP PRIORITY:
 FEWER ISSUES ARISE
 WHEN THEY DO, THEY CAN BE PROMPTLY
DEALT WITH.
 IN EMERGENCIES PEOPLE REVERT BACK
TO THEIR TRAINING.
