Launch the Community Security Trust to improve SIP program

Thumbnail

The Security Infrastructure Program (SIP) is a key initiative that provides essential funds to institutions, including Jewish community organizations and synagogues, to improve their security infrastructure with enhancements such as alarm systems and bollards.

While the SIP provides essential infrastructure funding, it is only half of the solution. It is essential to empower, equip, and train community members to identify and deter threats and to have the capacity to partner effectively with law enforcement for deterrence and information-sharing purposes.

Recommendation

Ensure any expansion and improvement of the Security Infrastructure Program includes consultation with security professionals from affected communities.
