Security Southwest Florida

Who We Serve

The people doing
the most good.

Faith communities, daycares, senior living, and mission-driven organizations are the heart of Southwest Florida. They're also the ones most often left to figure out security planning on their own. We're here to help.

We protect

Churches

"A sanctuary for all who enter."

Houses of worship are some of the most welcoming, and most exposed, places in a community. We help congregations balance openness with protection, train ushers and security teams without turning them into security theater, and build response plans for the service, the parking lot, and the youth wing.

Common Engagements

  • ▸ Service-time security plans
  • ▸ Usher & volunteer training
  • ▸ Parking lot and access control
  • ▸ Youth and children's ministry safety
  • ▸ Event security for conferences and VBS

Daycares & Preschools

"The little ones deserve the strongest watch."

Daycares and preschools carry the heaviest trust a family hands over. Open-door charm and toddler-sized exits don't have to mean weak security. We help daycare operators design safe drop-off and pick-up routines, harden entry points without feeling like a prison, and give staff the tools and training to handle the worst-case calmly.

Common Engagements

  • ▸ Secure drop-off and pick-up workflow design
  • ▸ Entry and access control hardening
  • ▸ Background check and staff screening programs
  • ▸ Emergency action plans (fire, lockdown, medical)
  • ▸ Teacher and staff scenario training
  • ▸ Parent communication and reunification planning

Senior Living Communities

"Honor and safety in every season."

Senior living communities face a blend of risks that few industries share: large, public-facing campuses, memory-care residents who can wander, medication inventories, and a workforce that turns over quickly. We help administrators design programs that protect residents and staff without making a home feel like an institution.

Common Engagements

  • ▸ Wander prevention and memory care access control
  • ▸ Medication room security audits
  • ▸ Staff screening and training programs
  • ▸ Visitor management and sign-in workflows
  • ▸ Incident response and elder abuse reporting
  • ▸ Emergency preparedness (weather, medical, active threat)

Nonprofits

"Mission-driven teams need mission-ready security."

Nonprofits often hold sensitive information, work with vulnerable populations, and run on shoestring budgets. We right-size security recommendations to your mission, usually starting with a simple audit, and often pointing to federal grants you may not know you qualify for.

Common Engagements

  • ▸ Client and staff safety protocols
  • ▸ Cash handling and asset protection
  • ▸ Federal grant writing (NSGP, state programs)
  • ▸ Volunteer background check programs
  • ▸ Travel security for field work

Faith-Based Organizations

"Protect the work. Protect the people."

Denominational offices, seminaries, retreat centers, faith-based media, and parachurch organizations all need protection, but rarely have the in-house expertise. P23 acts as your head of security, on retainer.

Common Engagements

  • ▸ Multi-site program design
  • ▸ Executive & pastoral protection advisory
  • ▸ Conference and event security
  • ▸ Crisis communication planning
  • ▸ Vendor and contractor oversight

Faith-Forward Executives & Families

"Your calling shouldn't put your family at risk."

Pastors with visibility, nonprofit executives in sensitive missions, and faith-forward business leaders sometimes become targets of harassment or threats. We provide advisory-level executive protection: residence hardening, workplace security, travel safety, and family threat briefings. Low-profile. Discreet.

Common Engagements

  • ▸ Residence security assessment
  • ▸ Home hardening recommendations
  • ▸ Travel & transport OPSEC
  • ▸ Family threat awareness briefings
  • ▸ Online exposure reduction

Common questions

Answered: who we serve and where.

Do you do church security in Fort Myers and Naples?

Yes. Churches and faith-based organizations are P23's largest service line. We serve congregations of every size across Lee, Collier, and Charlotte counties - Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero, Marco Island, Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte.

Can you help a daycare or preschool get a security assessment?

Yes. We have a specific playbook for daycares and preschools - drop-off/pickup is your most exposed thirty minutes, and nursery/toddler spaces need different assumptions than adult-only facilities. We do a focused assessment that respects how small operators are actually staffed.

What about senior living communities?

Senior living has its own risk profile: elopement, visitor management, medical emergencies, mixed-mobility evacuations. We walk the facility during real operational hours and deliver a plain-English report with a 30/60/90-day action plan.

Do you work with nonprofits beyond faith communities?

Yes. Mission-driven nonprofits - service orgs, shelters, community centers, donor-facing organizations - all benefit from the same thinking. We help with the quiet risks: cash handling, volunteer vetting, event security, donor data.

Do you only work in Southwest Florida?

Our primary service area is Lee, Collier, and Charlotte counties. We'll take occasional engagements outside that area for referrals and mission-aligned nonprofits. Ask.

Is your organization on this list?

Even if it's not: if you share the mission of serving others, we'd love to hear from you.
