Incidents at churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples have become more frequent across the country in recent years, and Colorado congregations are not exempt. The Department of Homeland Security has specifically named houses of worship as soft targets, meaning open, welcoming spaces that can be vulnerable to those who intend harm. Consider this:
Pikes Peak Security works with churches, synagogues, mosques, and temples across Colorado, and we understand that each faith tradition brings its own rhythms and risks. A mosque’s crowded Friday Jumu’ah prayer, a synagogue’s heightened concerns following recent national events, or a megachurch’s parking logistics on Sunday morning each call for a different approach. We build our security plans around your specific community, not a one-size-fits-all template.
Our officers provide a visible or low-profile presence during regular services, special events, holidays, and high-attendance gatherings, depending on what feels right for your community.
Some congregations prefer the deterrence of armed officers. Others prefer a less visible, unarmed presence. We’ll walk you through the options so you can choose what aligns with your community’s values and comfort level.
Many incidents start before anyone reaches the sanctuary. Our officers monitor parking areas and entry points, helping prevent issues before they reach your congregation.
A visible, well-trained security presence does more than prevent worst-case scenarios. It gives your staff, volunteers, and members the confidence to focus on what matters: worship, community, and service, without watching the door.
Without a plan in place, a single incident, whether it’s a theft, a disruptive individual, or something more serious, can shake a congregation’s sense of safety for years. Many of these situations are preventable with the right people and the right plan in place before something happens, not after.
We'll visit your property to assess entrances, parking areas, and high-traffic spaces during a regular service, so our recommendations reflect how your congregation actually gathers.
We'll sit down with church or board leadership to discuss your community's specific concerns, comfort level with armed versus unarmed officers, and budget, then build a plan around those conversations.
Many congregations choose to start with coverage for a single service or upcoming event, so leadership and members can see how our officers fit into your community before committing to ongoing coverage.
Pikes Peak Security is founded on 18 plus years of military service and 8 plus years of security industry experience. Our officers complete at least 100 hours of training every year, including firearms procedures, de-escalation, and first aid, so they’re prepared for the unique dynamics of a congregational setting.
Our officers carry several years of military experience or a law enforcement background, along with at least three years of experience working as protection officers. When you’re trusting someone to help protect your congregation, that level of training and experience matters more than the lowest bid.
Founder Adrian Smith brings ten years of US Army experience, including three combat tours, to every security plan we build. He personally ensures that our officers understand each client’s unique needs before they ever step foot on your property.

Yes. Our officers complete ongoing training in firearms procedures and verbal de-escalation, modeled after frameworks like the FBI's active shooter preparedness guidance, and we build emergency response plans specifically so your staff and volunteers know what to do if a serious situation arises.
