Archdiocese of Denver 8 Parish Security Committee T he Parish Security Committee, comprised of deacons who are law enforcement officers and a legal expert, was formed to assist parishes with security needs. The Committee has created tools for parishes to use in addressing their security plans. The tools include a policy, an infographic, and a security checklist for the parishes to assess their current security measures along with recommendations to update them, if needed. The committee members are available to do onsite evaluations of parish security, medical and safety plans, if requested. Ecumenical Taskforce on Terrorism T he FBI Denver Field Office, the Colo- rado U.S. Attorney's Office, along with local law enforcement partners, have part- nered with church leaders and other stake- holders throughout Colorado to increase understanding and cooperation in law enforcement efforts to address hate crimes and terrorist threats. Colorado Courage stakeholders receive training, educate each other about identifying pre-attack activity, and exchange information about potential threats. Leads originated through Colorado Courage chapters are reviewed, and appro- priate investigative actions are taken with guidance and input from the U.S. Attorney's Office and the local District Attorney's Office. The deacon is a liaison when incidents occur at Archdiocesan parishes and properties and communicates to Archdiocesan leadership about possible threats. i Deacon Mike Daly daly_bread@centurylink.net 303.847.2365 Deacon Chet Ubowski dcnchet@sfcparish.org 303.953.7783 i Deacon Chet Ubowski dcnchet@sfcparish.org 303.953.7783 T he Prophet Elijah House was built to allow retired priests to reside together in fellowship and provide spiritual growth during their later years.
