6th Annual House of Worship Safety and Security Symposium | Corporate Training | Northeast Wisconsin Technical College Join us for the 6th Annual Wisconsin House of Worship Safety and Security Symposium to learn from others on how we can be better prepared for any type of hazard that may face our church.

Last night Founders Dave Skinner and Troy Szotkowski were recognized for starting ACG Security Consultants and NTS Security Services. This journey started in 2016 as an idea on how to offer churches and businesses a process on how to build a layered security plan and how to prepare for emergencies. As any successful business, they surrounded themselves with like-minded people who wanted to make a difference by providing their staff and volunteers with methods on how to become safer and more secure.

In 2020, ACG Security Consultants and NTS Security Services were accepted into the St. Croix Valley Innovation Center Business Incubator Program. Over the next three years ACG Security Consultants and NTS Security Services grew rapidly with the mentoring and support of the City of River Falls, WI community and the St. Croix Valley Innovation Center. ACG Security Consultants and NTS Security Services are proud to have the opportunity to continue serving their communities and provide careers for those who also have chosen to serve and protect.

We offer our prayers and deepest condolences for the lives lost at Covenant School in Nashville. We are thankful for the quick actions taken by school officials, students and the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department. Implementing proactive layered security measures and an outstanding police response saved the lives of many. May God Bless all involved. 🙏

Our hearts and prayers go out to the Covenant Christian School in Tennessee during this tragedy.

This is senseless evil that continues to take away our loved ones and plagues our society with each of these incidents.

It’s time to take security seriously and also bring more mental health resources into our communities.

Nashville Christian school shooting leaves 3 children, 3 adults dead A 28-year-old shooter with two “assault-type rifles and a handgun” opened fire inside The Covenant School, police said. The school serves preschool to sixth grade.

LT. Col. Dave Grossman “The Sheep Dog of all Sheep Dogs” gave an excellent presentation today at the annual SOS FBSN Conference in Springfield MO. With his experience and expertise, he had everyone’s full attention. If you work or volunteer with your church’s safety security team, or for a law enforcement agency, we highly recommend attending any speaking engagement that the Col will be speaking at.

We had a great opportunity to meet and hear from Jack Wilson at the annual FBSN Safety & Security Conference today. Between action’s taken and lessons learned we learned a bit about their “best practices” and a bit about what they could have done better.

There are many great presenters on the schedule! If you are a member of a church safety and security team and missed out, be sure to get enrolled next year!
