"It’s sad and disturbing that people can get shot while peacefully
praying at a house of worship." - New York State Senator James Sanders, Jr.
Under those conditions and given the
recent shooting at a Texas church that killed 24 and injured over 20,
the senator is hosting a safety training for faith-based
leaders in the community so they can learn how to protect themselves and
their congregations against a first-person shooter attack.
The training will be
part of Senator Sanders’ monthly Interfaith Clergy Breakfast.
The event will be held on November 16, from 8:30 a.m. to 11 a.m., at St. Anthony’s Of Padua: 127-17 135th Avenue, South Ozone Park, New York.
There will be a presentation by NYPD Shield, the Police Department's latest counterterrorism program, and much more. Space is limited, and those interested in attending are urged to contact Senator Sanders’ district office as soon as possible: 718-523-3069.
The event is solely open to members of the clergy, and the NYPD Shield presentation will be closed to the media.
