Ensuring the safety of a congregation is a top priority for church security teams, and in some situations, using less-lethal options may be more appropriate than resorting to firearms. These alternatives can help de-escalate conflicts and manage threats while minimizing the risk of injury or harm to all parties involved. In this article, we will explore several less-lethal options for church security teams, including collapsible batons, pepper spray, and other alternatives, to provide a comprehensive understanding of their potential benefits and limitations.
Can you recommend a "child proof" ( meaning a curious young child gets into mom's purse and gets hold of her pepper spray) pepper spray brand? Our assistant pastor's wife has small kids.
I'm looking at Sabre 3 in one stream (contains tear gas), or 2-in-one gel (non tear gas). I know the gel is less likely to contaminate the surrounding area (for instance, the kids ministry area), but requires better aim, and doesn't contain the additional agent.
I've bought both, but am leaning towards the gel. What are everyone else's thoughts?

For pepper spray: Gel? Or stream spray?

Great content, Thank you! Could you recommend a pepper spray brand and model you have experience with ?
There are a lot of good brands out there. I do use First Defense MK3 because I used that at work and I know it works well.
Thank you! I’ll add it to my list as preferred brand. I also just became aware of SOK gel spray: https://nonlethal.sokdef.com/
