Jewish community to receive security training from U.S. Secret Service

Hardening targets is important when one is a potential target. This is something America’s churches should look into, too.

[Jpost] The Secure Community Network (SCN) has teamed up with the US Secret Service's National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC) to offer training on threat assessment and prevention of violence against America's Jewish community.

The event, to be held on Wednesday in Memphis, Tennessee, will bring together law enforcement agencies, school officials, mental health professionals and local corporations to advise Jewish community leaders on how best to mitigate against the threat of attack.

"Recognizing potential threats is critical to preventing attacks at our schools, synagogues and community centers," said Michael Masters, national director and CEO of SCN. "We are grateful to partner with the Secret Service NTAC to provide uniform, accurate training so that we can improve the safety of our community."

The training comes just over a year after the attack on the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, in which eleven people were killed and seven injured, making it the deadliest antisemitic attack on American soil.

"It is critically important for our leaders to recognize potential threats and know how to respond," said Stuart Frisch, the Memphis community’s regional security advisor with NTAC.

"We take security training seriously and are proud to partner with the United States Secret Service to make sure our community is safe and prepared," he added.

The Secure Community Network was founded in 2004 as a national initiative dedicated to providing homeland security initiatives for America's Jewish community.

#3 So Federal Law Enforcement has given up on reinforcing local law enforcement and is empowering groups of special interest vigilantes on how best to mitigate against the threat of attack.?

Something more than a Citizen's Police Auxillary.
Maybe it's all about hardening infrastructure.

#4 Well, if NY muslims can have their own patrol cars I don't see why other communities cannot enforce their own space.

Maybe have some nihang sikhs with their funny swords and discs roaming around. or those Teravada Buddhists. Muslims just stay away from wherever they are. There are some in Nihangs in Texas and Wyoming. These people, although Asian are the embodiment of the very idea behind the second amendment.

This has been going on for a couple of years, Skidmark — as I recall the previous round was with Homeland. This is just the next stage.
