Program areas at SCN

Monitoring The Threat Landscape - Our team of analysts uses cutting-edge technology to proactively monitor for, identify, and investigate threats, disseminating actionable intelligence to respond to incidents and build a protective shield over the community. Over 5,400 threat incidents and suspicious activity reports received. Securing Facilities - Our security experts offered 790 no-cost facility assessments and recommendations to fortify facilities against threats, enabling hundreds of Jewish organizations to upgrade their physical security. Our expert grant team guided organizations through the process to obtain more than $27 million in government funding to make those security upgrades possible. Empowering Communities Through Training - Led by safety and security experts, our gold-standard training curriculum empowered more than 58,000 community members with hands-on training and life-saving skills to prevent, respond to, and recover from potential incidents. Coordinating With Law Enforcement - We are the only faith-based entity with a direct line to the FBI. We work closely with federal, state, and local law enforcement partners, facilitating two-way intelligence sharing, coordinating on threat response protocols, and serving as a bridge between Jewish communities and the public safety agencies dedicated to protecting them. Protecting Local Communities - Our local partnerships bring SCN's national model to communities by providing access to on-the-ground security professionals to ensure every community has comprehensive protection, including hands-on training, facility assessments, law enforcement coordination, and incident response. SCN managed security initiatives grew 37% from 24 initiatives in 2022 to 33 in 2023, with regional director coverage increasing to now ensure that 100% of communities in the U.S. have access to one of SCN's regional directors.
