Worship Watch: Keeping Your Faith-Based Organization Safe

Posted on by

Back by popular demand, our Crime Prevention Unit is hosting two free Worship Watch seminars in the coming weeks. Implemented in 2015, Worship Watch is a program similar to Neighborhood Watch, but catered towards houses of worship and keeping them safe. The seminars open a line of communication between congregants and officers, and attendees receive crime prevention tips and training specific to protecting their places of worship.

The first seminar is on Saturday, December 16 from 9 a.m. until noon at the Prince of Peace Lutheran Church in Springfield and the second seminar is on Wednesday, January 3 at our new Public Safety Headquarters in Fairfax from 6 to 9 p.m. Due to space limitations, registration is required for each seminar. See below for exact addresses and a registration link for each.
