Houses of Worship Security Resource Guide
Securing Houses of Worship: A Community Service
Manual for ASIS Chapters
This manual describes a serious but oten overlooked problem that poten-
tially aects all our communities: acts o violence against houses o worship.
More importantly, this manual provides direction to ASIS chapters interested
in pursuing community crime prevention projects that can hinder i not stop
these insidious crimes. By partnering with local colleges to protect houses of
worship, ASIS chapter members can become resources for community pro-
tection, share their expertise and proessionalism with community leaders,
and give guidance to aspiring security students.
Securing Houses of Worship II
Securing Houses of Worship II is an ASIS Foundation initiative, which serves
as a follow-on to the original effort. The objective is to provide basic tools for
both the security proessional and leaders o religious congregations, helping
them to better address relevant assets protection needs. It also helps them rec-
ognize the increasingly broad spectrum o risks acing todays aith based com-
munity and aims to reinvigorate proessional security assistance to that sector.

Securing Houses of Worship After 9/11: A Community
Service Project of ASIS Florida West Coast Chapter
The Florida West Coast Chapter of ASIS recognizes the need for all Houses
o Worship to be secure. Working with national, state and local law enorce-
ment agencies ASIS offers its own extensive resources to help make Houses
o Worship more secure. This document was designed to provide a conduit o
site-security help and knowledge to the religious community free of charge.
Our world has changed and with that, the importance that all citizens under-
stand that they need to be prepared and prudent in their daily lives. ASIS is
not highlighting or encouraging panic, we are presenting sound security prac-
tice & principles that everyone should and can be implementing as a habit.
Crime Prevention For Houses of Worship
Criminals are increasingly targeting Worship centers. They prey in parking
lots and in the worship acilities. Worshipers are intent on prayer and worship
and are less ocused to the crime risks contemporary to our time. Crime
Prevention for Houses of Worship is designed to help clergy, church laity,
and crime prevention specialists implement positive and arming security
approaches in worship centers. Properly administered crime prevention
approaches can enhance the worship experience, rather than detract rom it.

National Church Arson Task Force
The National Church Arson Task Force (NCATF) was formed as a result ofthe sharp increase in church arsons. President Clinton formed the NCATF in
an eort to coordinate ederal, state and local law enorcement in the battle
against church arson. The NCATF is composed of the FBI, FEMA, the Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD), U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ),
and DOJs Community Relations Service (CRS).
ATF applies its expertise in arson and bombing investigations and its
jurisdiction in ederal arson statutes to investigating and apprehending thosewho attack houses of worship. The FBI brings its expertise in Civil Rights
and Hate Crimes, applying these statutes when applicable. DOJ adds to the
eort by providing attorneys to prosecute individuals burning houses o wor-
ship, applying the most appropriate statutes. Recognizing that cooperation
between the public and law enorcement is essential in the fght against these
crimes, the CRS assists by fostering positive relationships between commu-
nities and law enforcement. FEMA manages arson prevention and training
programs. HUD brings its expertise in coordinating rebuilding programs tothe task orce.

Houses of Worship Security Resource Guide
Church Safety and Security: A Practical Guide
The church has always been regarded as a safe haven - a spiritual sanctuary
where people can come to worship God ree rom worries about violence or
unethical behavior by those involved in church ministry. But our culture is
changing, and church leaders can no longer assume that it wont happen in
my church. Like the rest o society, churches need to ensure the saety and
security o their acility, sta, and worshipers.This book provides a wealth o
practical inormation on preparing or and responding to the challenges o a
dangerous world. The book draws on more than two decades o law enorce-
ment and investigative experience and outlines a how-to approach full ofspecic proactive steps churches can take to protect themselves and reduce
the risk and costly lawsuits.

Keeping Your Church Safe
When church leaders fail to provide for the well-being and protection of ev-
eryone involved in congregational programs, they are derelict in their duty to
shepherd and protect the fock. A conscientious and well run saety program
gives a sense o security and comort to those who attend and helps provide
an atmosphere where worship, ellowship, edication, and service can takeplace without incident. Keeping Your Church Safe is a practical blueprint or
churches covering all aspects o church security and saety or sta, prem-
ises, and members. Its a well-outlined, easy-to-follow guide in establishing
an eective security program or congregations o all sizes.

synagogue also serves as a place o companionship, communal identication,

and cause political impacts.
