Houses of Worship will be protect like sacred buildings

A Los Angeles City Councilman is proposing a motion to reduce violence against houses of worship.

Councilman Richard Alarcon is proposing a program called “Worship Watch” to be coordinated with the L-A-P-D.

“Worship Watch” will be modeled like neighborhood watch programs.

The program would give religious leaders information on how to prevent crime and how to respond to crime.

The councilman’s motion stems from an April twentieth incident when a Molotov cocktail was thrown at a church in Panorama City.

Police say Molotov cocktails were used to start fires in an Arleta Church and a West Hills Jewish Community Center.
