Church Safety Seminar Declared A Success By Sheriff Watson

  • Tuesday, March 3, 2015

Bradley County Sheriff Eric Watson hosted a presentation concerning church security and safety on Monday evening.  

Some 70 ministers, church safety staff and church members interested in beginning a program to bring more safety to their houses of worship, attended the presentation, titled “Meeting the Challenges of Church Violence”.

Sheriff Watson led off the presentation by discussing his feelings about being secure while attending church. He was followed by Bradley County Lt. James Bradford, who heads up a church safety detail, and by retired veteran officer Captain Eddie Scoggins, who relayed his history of dealing with church safety issues and passed along information on how to successfully deal with safety issues in a church setting.

Sheriff Watson, Lt. Bradford and Retired Captain Scoggins were pleased with the turnout, and with the interest shown by those attending.
