Founded in 2016, the Office of Community Security works directly with synagogues, Jewish day schools, agencies and organizations throughout Miami-Dade County to create and implement strategic frameworks to protect people and property.

The Office of Community Security helps to create a culture of security in Miami’s Jewish community by:

· Developing best practices

· Conducting threat assessments

· Consulting on security matters

· Providing crisis-management support

· Coordinating and offering training

Federation funding makes these services possible and offers these resources to Jewish community institutions at no cost.
