HOPE – The Hempstead County Sheriff’s Office will be offering a three-hour class on Church Safety and Active Shooter’s free of charge for all Churches in Hempstead County.

The class, prepared by one of the department’s investigators, will not only cover active shooters it will include natural disasters and other emergencies that can occur while at a place of worship. Our goal is to seek out every church and house of worship in the county and provide each of them this information.

The first such class will be held on Tuesday, November 21, from 6:30-9:30 P.M. at the rafter J Cowboy Church located on Highway 29 South approximately four miles from UAHT. The class is limited to 30 people.

If you are interested in attending, please contact the Hempstead County Sheriff’s Office at 870-777-6727 and leave your name and contact information or send us a e-mail to register.
