Security & Safety

Working to ensure safety and resilience through partnership, preparedness and vigilance.

“Security is all of our responsibility – it’s a collaborative effort. I’m here to show the individual institutions and members of our community how they can be a part of this shared endeavor. I’m proud of Federation for recognizing this need and establishing itself as the central resource for the community. Security is a continuum – the threats and trends are always changing – and I’m excited to help the Greater MetroWest Jewish community take on this challenge.”

— Robert A. Wilson, Chief Security Officer
Jewish Federation of Greater MetroWest NJ
