Houses of Worship

FREE SECURITY risk analysis for houses of worship

The Phoenix Chapter of ASIS International is wholeheartedly committed to enhancing the safety and security of Houses of Worship, recognizing their unique vulnerabilities within the context of limited resources. We actively pledge our support, guidance, and educational resources to aid these sacred spaces in navigating security challenges. Our concern stems from the acknowledgment that Houses of Worship, vital segments of our society, demand a specialized security approach due to their intentional open environments, high-profile settings, and susceptibility as soft targets. Over the years, these places have faced various security threats, including vandalism, hate crimes, internal misconduct, incidental crimes, offenses against parishioners and children, and theft of proprietary information and property. By standing as a resourceful ally, the Phoenix Chapter aims to fortify these sanctuaries, ensuring they remain welcoming spaces where faith can be practiced freely in a secure environment.

ASIS International is the preeminent organization for security professionals, with more than 35,000 members worldwide. Founded in 1955, ASIS is dedicated to increasing the effectiveness and productivity of security professionals by developing educational programs and materials that address a wide variety of security topics. The Phoenix Chapter is committed to assisting Houses of Worship by identifying security vulnerabilities through an on-site Security Risk Analysis followed by offering recommendations for improvement.
