National Organization of Church Security & Safety Management
The National Organization of Church Security & Safety Management (NOCSSM™) will present its 15th Annual National Church Security Conference to be held at Denton Bible Church in Denton, Texas on July 26-27, 2019.
“Each year we try to have new speakers and new subject matter to add to our attendee’s security skill set,” says Chuck Chadwick (President of NOCSSM). “Each year the conference is different. This year is going to be one of the most intense conferences you have ever been to! ‘Like drinking out of a fire hydrant,’ I’ve heard it said.”
This conference is the premier church security event of the year, featuring what we believe to be the absolute best minds in the world on the subject of church security.
Our target audience is those churches that want to learn the skill sets and knowledge you need from experts with decades of “In the Trenches” experience in the profession of church security or a preeminent authority in the field of their topic.
No rehashing old stories, No Navy Seals (thank you for your service!), just straight-forward tools you can use to enhance your church’s security program.
The topics of the conference are not “Time Fillers.” No cyber security or motivational speaking here. These are topics people tasked with their church’s security must face.
