Meet your Trainer, Simon Osamoh - Threat Detection Expert 

Founder of Worship Security Academy and former head of counterterrorism at Mall of America, overseeing the internationally recognized behavior detection unit. 

In the British police, I was a highly commended investigator conducting well over a 1,000 interviews and in 2006 I worked with the British Security Services into the Liquid bomb terrorism plot that changed aviation security worldwide limiting the amount of liquids you can take on a plane. 

I’m national specialist in faith security, featured in the Wall Street Journal, the award-winning book How to Stop a Mass Shooting Epidemic. Author of Securing Church Operations and Responding to Suspicious Behavior, security advisor to some of the largest churches in the country that include Eagle Brook Church in Minnesota.

People hear my background and say why church security? Well, a police department asked if I could educate a church safety team on suspicious behavior. Since that day, and over a decade later, I’ve helped thousands of churches learn a system to detect and deter threats through human behavior. I’m on a mission to keep HIS churches safe!
