Protecting Houses of Worship in Colorado: A Community Effort

FORT COLLINS, CO – In a disturbing trend that has plagued communities nationwide, houses of worship in Colorado have become increasingly vulnerable to threats of violence. In an effort to combat this growing concern, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado has announced its plans to co-host a Protecting Houses of Worship (PHOW) event in Fort Collins on November 17, 2022.

This interfaith event aims to provide faith-based institutions with crucial information on the threats of violence facing houses of worship and responsive measures to counter potential risks. The PHOW program is an interfaith initiative that brings together law enforcement and faith-related security experts to educate and empower faith-based organizations to protect their communities.

The event in Fort Collins is sponsored by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Colorado, Community Relations Service, Rocky Mountain Region, and the Fort Collins Police Department. Interested parties can RSVP to Jillian Dardani at Jillian.Dardani@usdoj.gov to secure a spot at the seminar.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office plans to co-host roughly four PHOW trainings a year across Colorado, providing a comprehensive approach to protecting houses of worship and promoting community safety.

The Protecting Houses of Worship seminar in Fort Collins is a critical step towards safeguarding the well-being of faith-based institutions and their communities. By working together, we can create a safer and more secure environment for all.
