The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of
Louisiana, Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Department of Homeland
Security, Anti-Defamation League, and Louisiana State University Police
Department hosted a Faith-Based Security Summit yesterday for faith-based
leaders and their security teams.
U.S. Attorney Brandon J. Fremin stated, “We stand ready to
assist community leaders to help ensure the safety and security of our houses
of worship. It is important that
everyone feels secure whenever visiting a house of worship.”
Approximately 130 leaders from faith-based communities
across Louisiana attended the symposium that was held at LSU’s Dalton J. Woods
Auditorium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
The symposium provided attendees with active shooter threat
awareness, information to deter such threats, information for development and
implementation of security and emergency action plans, information sharing, and
risk assessment. Presentations included
topics such as human violence, pathway to violence, empowering bystanders to
report suspicious behaviors, pre-offense indicators of active shooters, initial
steps in creating active shooter preparedness plans and responses, and
available resources.
