JUF Security Programs

With incidents of antisemitism in the U.S. at record levels, JUF has scaled up security operations to extend our security expertise widely throughout Jewish Chicago. We are here to ensure that every community member can participate in Jewish life free from fear.

Guided by a top-flight security management team, JUF provides multi-disciplinary security services to Jewish schools, agencies, camps and synagogues to help keep our community safe, including:

• Security Audits
  Assessing individual sites for potential gaps in security and identifying solutions to those gaps.
• Emergency Preparedness
  Guiding institutions to establish or update their own individualized emergency response plans.
• Security Training
  Sharing best practices to enable community members and leaders of communal institutions to safeguard others—and one another—in an emergency.
• Grant Application Assistance
  Helping organizations to access added funding from government and private sources to meet their increased security needs.
• JUF Master Contracts
  Offering access to the most cost-effective security products and services with vetted vendors, group pricing and equipment/service guarantees.
• Social Media/Dark Web Monitoring
  Continually analyzing and reporting potential threats to security.
• Connectivity & Cooperation
  Collaborating with the Secure Community Network (SCN), other partners and all levels of law enforcement.
