Sheriff’s Office To Host Church Safety And Security Workshop
June 28, 2015
The Escambia County Sheriff’s Office is inviting all ministers and concerned church members to attend a special conference on “Security in the Place of Worship” next week.
“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 Thursday, July 2 at 6 p.m. at the ECSO Main Administration Building at 1700 West Leonard Street.
To register, call Deputy Delarian Wiggins at (850) 436- 9705.

Talked to Sgt Wiggins he said no registration required, just show up at the appointed place and time.
This is a very informative class that I have previously attended. I would recommend that church officials attend this class for the safety and security of your place of worship.
