Crime Prevention for Places of Worship
November 8, 2023 @ 8:30 am - 4:30 pm
This program is part of the Crime Prevention Specialist Series. Each program in the series is a standalone seminar. Participants that complete all seminars in the series will be granted a Crime Prevention Specialist Certificate.
Recent incidents of violence in religious institutions have forced religious leaders to re-exam security measures. Balancing the openness of a religious institution with the necessity for real security can be difficult. This one-day course will assist attendees with this dilemma. Participants will learn about the importance of conducting realistic security surveys and risk assessments of religious facilities. Attendees will learn best practice approaches to:
Developing Emergency Procedures (to deal with acts of violence and other safety and security issues)
Preventive Measures and Programs
Theft, Embezzlement and Vandalism
Hiring procedures
Access Control in General and specifically Safety and Welfare of Children
