Join Us for Security Spring Training!
Our community’s safety remains a top priority, and being prepared can make all the difference in an emergency. This spring, Jewish Federation of San Diego, in partnership with the Secure Community Network, is offering free emergency response trainings designed to empower individuals and organizations with the skills to react quickly and effectively in crisis situations.
Through three crucial sessions, we will provide practical guidance on recognizing threats, responding under pressure, and helping ensure the safety of those around you. Whether you’re a community member, organizational staff, or volunteer, this training offers valuable knowledge to help protect yourself and others.
Each session includes two in-depth trainings:
Countering the Active Threat
A comprehensive training program
to counter an active threat event
developed for faith-based institutions
and houses of worship.
Stop the Bleeding

with the skills to save lives by
