In this article and accompanying video, we’ll be examining a real-life incident that took place during a church service in Carlsbad, California in 2021.
Nothing better than an actual incident to learn from, especially when no one is injured / killed.
Church security teams should train their congregants, and pastoral staff, on their role during an incident, ie: calmly exit the area of confict. Period. There is nothing worse than too many cooks in the kitchen.
This was a great training video and that team and Church deserve a ton of credit for allowing it to be shared so we can all learn from their mistakes! I am sending this to my team and my Church's Pastors so they can benefit from it too. Thanks as always Keith for the work you are doing.
Great video analysis! I plan on using this at the next safety team meeting/training session. Keith, I'm a supporter of your channel and want to say what a blessing it is to have your training available. May God bless you and your ministry!
Praise God no one had to die that day. Father we thank you for your guiding hand upon those you have placed upon the wall to be overseers and protectors of your people, Bless them in all they do and all you have called them to do. Draw near to Justus Father may your mercy wash him your grace lead him and show him the narrow path to lead him home to you. We ask all these things in your Sons name our Lord Jesus our Christ …
I found this very instructive, thank you for the debrief and thank you to the church for sharing.
I would like to alter the facts of this situation for the purpose of a question. ASSUMING that there had been more distance between the offender and the pastor-say 10 feet at least- how advisable would it be to preemptively pepper spray the offender? Based on your experience, what would be his likely response?
10 feet is still too close and they can still lunge and attack you with a knife. We do this exercise with recruits when we pepper spray them. We spray them and then have them fight. Some do quite well.

Thanks to this church for allowing us all to learn from your incident.
Thank you again for the video and your informed review and analysis.
