Witnessed something suspicious? Report it to our security teamâyour information will be handled promptly and confidentially. In an emergency, call 911 immediately.
Security starts with understanding your environment. JShield works directly with leadership at Jewish institutions to assess current safety needs, conduct thorough security walkthroughs, develop strategic security roadmaps, and support grant applications for local, state, and federal funding.
We work closely with trusted organizationsâincluding the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Washington (JCRC), Anti-Defamation League (ADL), Secure Community Network (SCN), and Community Security Service (CSS)âto provide 24/7 threat monitoring, intelligence analysis, training, and crisis response.
Through these partnerships, JShield extends access to real-time resources that strengthen the safety and resilience of our community.
JShield is here to help your organization navigate the federal Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) and other funding opportunities.
