Buckeye Firearms Association announced on Mar. 24 that it has added three new Protecting Houses of Worship training sessions, scheduled for May and June, in New Palestine, Edgerton, and Greenville.
The seminars aim to help organizations prepare their security teams to respond to active killing events while maintaining a welcoming environment for worshippers. The classes are designed as an introduction to identifying security needs and establishing organizational and team training standards.
The Saturday sessions will take place from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the following locations: New Palestine Bible Church on May 9, Life Changing Church in Edgerton on May 30, and Tree Live Church in Greenville on June 20. Training will cover the history of active killing events—including recent incidents—along with medical instruction, tactics, and Active Killer Response scenarios.

Look forward to doing it again.” Another student commented, “Very satisfied with the presentation and the way the team worked together. Very well organized. Great job.”
