Barry is not only an expert, but he brings a wealth of experience/humor and teaches with dynamic energy!

Col. Donald Mondragon


From 3-Time Police Chief

I have known Barry Young for several years and have been to several of his basic and advanced church security classes. As a former Chief of Police, I assure you that Barry delivers a scope of training like no other. His vast experience along with his powerful spiritual delivery makes his training one of the best security training I have ever experienced. I would highly recommend this for anyone that is serious about protecting their church.

Barry Young is one of our Nation’s leading experts regarding ministry safety and security.  Barry provides practical and proven experience in training and assisting ministries to mitigate the ever-present dangers and hostilities that lurk.  I have called on Barry often to train hundreds of volunteers to protect their ministries, reduce dangers, equip volunteers, and prepare responses to the many impending safety and security challenges we face daily. I offer my highest  recommendation of Barry to you.

The communication and hands-on methods provided by Mr. Young impressed me enough that I immediately sought his services to train my school staff.  I plan to utlize Mr. Young in the future for opportunities to refresh who have been trained and also to train our newly hired employees.

Church security is of the highest importance in our world today. As an agency owner that works very closely with churches, I promote church safety training all the time. I have worked with Barry Young for over 5 years in the church safety training area. Let me say that there are none better. His ability to get the training on a level your team can understand is outstanding.
