Security Guards are important, whether Atlanta, Orlando, Tampa, Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, or Jacksonville, protection needs to be a priority!
The recent tragedy in a Pittsburgh synagogue, a shooting the left 11 dead, is just another reminder of the importance of security. It has many communities, churches, and even businesses heightening their security.
Experts agree, houses of worship, across all denominations, have become especially vulnerable, they are considered “soft targets”. Many of them receive constant threats and find it necessary to add armed security guards.
The church in Sutherland Springs Texas, where 26 were killed in 2017.
The church in Charleston, South Carolina, where 9 were killed in 2015.
Jewish Community Center in Overland Park, Kansas, where 3 were killed in 2014.
The Sikh temple in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, where 6 were in 2012.
It’s A Wake Up Call
Rabbi Abraham Cooper, social action director at the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles, said they are beefing-up securing at many Jewish institutions.
This security has prevented several attacks at Jewish institutions. “You have serious security on your perimeter, chances are, the individual might look somewhere else,” Rabbi Cooper told NBC News
