The National Organization of Church Security & Safety Management (NOCSSM) was formed in 2002 as an informal discussion group for the Security Directors of some of the nation's largest churches.  Chuck Chadwick realized that most churches had no training in security and safety issues and formed a vision of an organization who's primary purpose is to help churches with these issues.

NOCSSM is a church specific security education and training organization whose members share the common goal of keeping staff, congregations, property and other assets secure and safe. Member churches and organizations have access to resources of policies and procedures.

Our founding scripture - Chronicles 9:21

And later Zechariah son of Meshelemiah had been responsible for guarding the entrance of the tabernacle.  In all, there were 212 gatekeepers in those days, and they were listed by genealogies in their villages.  David and Samuel the seer had appointed their ancestors because they were reliable men. These gatekeepers and their descendants, by their divisions, were responsible for guarding the entrance to the house of the LORD, the house that was formerly a tent.  The gatekeepers were stationed on all four sides—east, west, north, and south.
