Recently, Gilford Community Church (GCC) held a seminar on building safety and security conducted by officers from Gilford Police Department.
According to GCC Pastor Michael Graham, the seminar provided insight into how to respond to an active threat to the church along with safety measures that can be put in place now to help mitigate risk. “Holding this seminar was something that has been on our minds for a while,” he said. “Our desire to hold this seminar was sadly more recently provoked by the latest rounds of senseless shootings.”

In total, nearly two-dozen people were in attendance at the seminar, which was facilitated by Gilford Police Department personnel, Captain Dustin Parent and Sergeant Curtis Mailloux.
“The seminar was excellent – Gilford is fortunate to have such professional law enforcement,” noted Graham. “We took away three of four things that we should definitely implement here at the church.”
As for future seminars, Graham said one topic they plan to cover is cybersecurity. “This would also be open to the public, as this is an issue that affects everyone,” he added.
