Faith Groups to Host Security Training Workshop

Montgomery County Executive’s Faith Community Working Group is inviting the community to attend a free two-hour security training session where experts will explain how to protect congregations from unexpected acts of violence or disasters, and how to conduct facility assessments.

When Disaster Hits Home: Are We Prepare? is scheduled to take place on Dec. 2 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at Adat Shalom on 7727 Persimmon Tree Lane in Bethesda.

Speakers Brian D Johnson, director of campus security at the Jewish Federation of Greater Washington, and Marlowe Leafty, emergency preparedness specialist for Seneca Maryland Stake of Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, will share information about family and staff preparedness.

The event, also sponsored by the Jewish Community Relation Council, is open to the public but registration is required.
