Sheriff’s Office To Host Church Safety And Security Workshop
January 19, 2014
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office is inviting all ministers and concerned church members to attend a special conference on “Church Safety and Security”.”
“Our places of worship should be regarded as safe havens where the community can worship and experience fellowship free from worries about violence, theft or unethical behavior,” said Sheriff David Morgan, “I encourage all citizens to arm themselves with the knowledge necessary to prevent fraud, theft and other crimes.”
The workshop is free and is designed to assist citizens in their efforts to reduce crime in our places of worship and in their communities. The event will be held on Tuesday, February 18 at 6 p.m. at the ECSO Main Administration Building at 1700 West Leonard Street.
To register, call Deputy Delarian Wiggins at (850) 436- 9496.

I hope the churches and temples in Escambia County will take advantage of this opportunity to learn how to remain a safe place for people to worship. It is a shame it has come to this but we all need to be aware of the dangers that are possible.
