Building Resilience, Strengthening Community

As the Bay Area faces unprecedented levels of antisemitism, we provide free consulting services, needs assessments, and training to help organizations prepare and respond to harassment, vandalism, and security threats. We offer on-site security assessments, training on emergency preparedness, and incident management, all tailored to our partner organizations’ needs. The Federation established its community security program over 24 years ago and now leads Jewish security efforts in the Bay Area and beyond.

The Community Security Program engages directly with leaders, staff, and members of 100+ organizations in our community. We send security communications and threat alerts to dozens more organizations in the Bay Area and throughout Northern California. We actively review threats, suspicious activity, and antisemitic incidents reported by Jewish organizations and community members. Our experts efficiently analyze the circumstances and liaise with law enforcement to identify the instigators and determine whether incidents represent harassment or a threat of violence. This process allows organizations to increase security when warranted, refrain from overreacting to non-credible threats, and restore peace of mind whenever possible.
