Keeping our Community Safe

AS ONE, we pledge to ensure the safety, security, and resiliency of Jewish communities worldwide.

In response to rising hate and violence targeting Jewish institutions, the Federation has launched a multi-year partnership with the Secure Community Network (SCN), the official security initiative for North America’s Jewish community. This collaboration enhances regional safety by integrating the Federation into SCN’s nationwide network, which implements comprehensive, “all threats, all hazards” security programs. Through SCN’s National Jewish Security Operations Command Center, the partnership provides direct access to best-practice resources, facility assessments, training, and incident response support, ensuring a safer, more resilient community.
