Dealing with violence in our congregations – a training

Picture

Dear Friends,

In the wake of the horrific shooting at Tree of Life synagogue in Pennsylvania, regional districts of the Department of Justice are offering “Active Shooter” trainings to help give congregations some tools to improve members’ safety.

The half day seminar will be December 11 from 9:30 am to noon at the Kennedy Learning Center inside the Robert Matsui Federal Courthouse, 501  I Street, Sacramento, CA 95814.    

The deadline for registration is this coming Monday, December 3.

You may bring up to 3 people from your congregation.  You may register here.

Registration is NOT complete until you have received a confirmation email.

Please arrive at 9:00 am.  Bring photo ID since this is a secure facility, and you will need to pass through a metal detector and show your ID.  This will give you time to process through security and be directed to the Kennedy Learning Center room.

While none of us every wishes to be in a violent situation, we are living in perilous times with horrible events unfolding far too often.  If we cannot be at ease in our places of worship, we need to take steps to assure our improved safety.  

This event is being cosponsored by numerous law enforcement agencies, local, state, and federal and with the Jewish Federation of the Sacramento Region plus the Interfaith Council of Greater Sacramento.

Please consider attending this important training.  And then let us all practice peace so it is never needed.

Thank you.
