Mosques, churches, synagogues and all places of worship
should be havens from the chaos of life. Safety is paramount and adopting a few
simple procedures can dramatically increase the security of these sanctuaries
and help to protect the people within and the surrounding property.
The Richmond Police Department will be hosting a safety
and awareness forum for religious gathering places. The forum will be held from
10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 18. A variety of topics will be
discussed, including general safety, preparing for an emergency, firearms in
places of worship and pastoral protection.
The forum will be held at the Richmond Police Department Training Academy, 1202 W. Graham Road. For further questions please contact Officer Kimberly Cheatham-McClarin at 646-6754.
