Security Funding For Places Of Worship

During this heightened period of public disorder, the Home Office has introduced a rapid protective security response for places of worship at risk of imminent violent disorder. They can organise security personnel services whilst your site remains at risk of disorder which is provided free of charge. You can apply for this security using this link.

Whilst this is an effective short-term answer to malicious threats, a longer-term initiative is provided by other Government funded schemes such as The Protective Security for Places of Worship Scheme, the Jewish Community Protective Security Grant, and The Protective Security for Mosques Scheme. These schemes aim to provide places of worship with funding for security measures such as CCTV, secure fencing, intruder alarms and lockdown systems. 

As part of their security measures, many places of worship are considering lockdown systems so that if there is a threat of an imminent attack there can be a site wide alert and all places of entry can be locked. The Alertex wireless critical alert system is already widely used in education sector and require no cabling or Wi-Fi connection. With a long transmission range of 1km, when one Alertex unit is triggered, it will activate all other Alertex units in range with a sounder and flashing blue beacon which differentiates it from a fire alert. There are voice annunciators available allowing warning to remain inside to be made in several languages if required. Key staff can also utilise the mobile panic alert key fob which when triggered will activate Alertex units within range.
