Mercer County is fortunate to have a strong advocate for enhancing safety in houses of worship and other non-profit facilities.
Detective Michael Smith of the Mercer County Prosecutor’s Office was presented with a Certificate of Appreciation on December 6 by Rotary Club President Joe Cavone. 
In the last four years, Detective Smith has helped more than a dozen houses of worship in Mercer County receive over $2 million in federal and state grants for security enhancements. 
For information on obtaining a free security assessment of a house of worship or other 501c3-owned facility as well as some grant advice, contact Detective Smith at mjsmith@mercercounty.org.  For information on grants, visit www.njohsp.gov/.
