Matt, just for the record, Jeanne Assam was a former police officer and was a part of their security team. They had a rotation where half the team worshiped at the morning service and the other half served as security, then at the evening service those who served earlier, worshiped, and vice versa. Due to the shooting the previous day she recommended to beef up the security more than normal—not sure exactly what that means, because they did have armed security volunteers.
Denver ABC 7 News, 2007:
“Assam worked as a police officer in downtown Minneapolis during the 1990s and is licensed to carry a weapon. She attends one of the morning services and then volunteers as a guard during another service.
Boyd said Assam was the one who suggested the church beef up its security Sunday following the Arvada shooting, which it did. The pastor credited the security plan and the extra security for preventing further bloodshed.
Boyd said there are 15 to 20 security people at the church. All are volunteers but the only ones armed are those who are licensed to carry weapons.
The security guards are members of the church who are screened and not “mercenaries that we hire to walk around our campus to provide security,” Boyd said.”
