About Dan
Protecting the faithful is a ministry for Dr. Dan Fitzsimons. After many years of business and military experiences around the world, the need to shield our home congregations from harm came as a shock. Active intential protection of Houses of Worship and foreign missions began in 2012. Team security and executive protection is an on-going committment.
Training tactical and soft skills instruction include: de-escalation through verbal and non-verbal respsonse, open and closed hand control measures, close protection, team building, response planning, integration with stakeholders, legal concepts, and emergency medical responses.
