In early 2026, communities in Virginia and several other states have reported events involving fights, property concerns, heightened law enforcement response, and, in at least one case, serious violence. As warmer weather approaches, this trend may continue to gain momentum, and businesses, churches, houses of worship, hospitals, open spaces, public events, and universities are not exempt from danger. All areas need to be prepared.
It is increasingly important for parents, community members, businesses, churches, houses of worship, and public safety partners to remain aware of emerging activity, understand the risks, and encourage safe, proactive reporting through appropriate channels. This is why the InfraGard Alliance Chapter of Norfolk is planning this Prevention of Damage, Danger, and Disorder presentation.
We are working to bring an Active Danger, Disorder, and Active Shooter Prevention Event on Saturday, May 30th, in Virginia Beach, Virginia, from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Speakers will include Special Agent Paul Dandrade of the Norfolk FBI and the former Norfolk Police Chief, now Regional Security Advisor of the Tidewater Secure Community Network. They will provide guidance on how to handle and prevent problems before they occur. We want to help you be prepared and ready.
For more information, and to be added to our attendee list, please email your contact information, including your name, cell number, city, how you heard about this event, and whether your church has a safety and security plan, policies, and a trained team. To Atten Please Email Your Info To: ChurchSecurityInstitute@gmail.com now, and we will get back to you with more details, including the event location.
We need registration information to ensure we have enough seating for everyone attending.
