THE HUDSON COUNTY ATTORNEY’S OFFICE IS HOSTING A SAFETY SEMINAR FOR PLACES OF
WORSHIP

Rory MurphyJanuary 20, 2023

Hudson County places of worship can pray for the best, but they are being told
to prepare for the worst.

The Hudson County Attorney’s Office, in coordination with the State Office of
Homeland Security and Preparedness (NJOHSP) and the US Department of Homeland
Security, has scheduled a house of worship security program for January 31 at
High Tech High School in Secaucus.

The program, which runs from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., aims to provide security
resources for faith leaders to protect their communities from a mass shooting.

Speakers include Hudson County Attorney Esther Suarez, NJOHSP Division Director
Thomas Hauck, NJOHSP Training & Exercise Bureau Randy Parkes, NJOHSP Operations
Bureau’s Ehtasham Chaudhry, FEMA Faith-Based Coordinator Race Hodges and DHS
Protective Security Advisor Dan Schultz.

Topics include active shooter response training, new statutory emergency
planning requirements for places of worship, and other key resources available
to religious organizations.

“As one of the most diverse communities in the country, Hudson County is a
melting pot of all races, ethnicities and religions,” Suarez said. “Houses of
worship should be safe places where individuals can freely practice their
religion without concern for their safety. Along with our state and federal
partners, we are committed to working with all faith leaders to ensure they have
access to resources to protect and prepare their communities in an emergency.”

All Hudson County religious leaders, security coordinators and congregations of
all faiths and denominations are invited to participate. Participants are asked
to respond online here.

“The House of Worship Safety Program is one of many NJOHSP initiatives aimed at
ensuring New Jersey is a safe place to worship,” said NJOHSP Director Laurie
Doran. “It is a collaborative effort coordinated with our federal, state, county
and local partners to provide essential information, resources and connections
to faith communities.”

Late last year, state law was passed requiring mandated places of worship with
more than 500 seats to have an emergency plan, and that plan must be approved by
the local police department.
