PORTLAND, OR – A brazen attempt to leave faith communities vulnerable to violence has sparked a call to action from local law enforcement agencies. In a shocking move, leaders from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the FBI, and other Portland area law enforcement agencies have joined forces to host a safety and security seminar for faith communities.
According to sources, the seminar is a direct response to the growing threat of violence against faith communities. Leaders and subject matter experts from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, the FBI, Oregon State Police, Portland Police Bureau, and the Multnomah, Clackamas, and Washington County Sheriffs’ Offices will jointly present information designed to support and update existing house of worship security protocols and preparedness measures.

A news conference featuring senior leaders from OneCOP and participating law enforcement agencies will be held on Thursday, June 27, 2019, at 12:30 p.m. on the 15th floor of the Justice Center.
The seminar is a rare opportunity for faith leaders and security personnel to come together and share knowledge on how to protect their communities. With the threat of violence ever-present, this seminar is a wake-up call for faith communities to take action and prioritize their safety.
While the seminar is being offered for information and preparedness purposes only, it serves as a stark reminder of the reality of violence against faith communities. It is a call to action for faith leaders and security personnel to take proactive steps to protect their communities.
The safety seminar is a collaborative effort between local law enforcement agencies and the FBI. It is a testament to the commitment of these agencies to protecting faith communities and ensuring their safety.
