Jim Hartnett, director of community-wide security for the Jewish Federation of Cleveland, said attending the first Secure Community Network Mission to Israel was a valuable experience for him.

Security is a top priority in the Jewish community and it has become a growing concern as anti-Semitic and terror attacks take place around the world. To strengthen security within the local community, the Jewish Federation of Cleveland has acquired a mobile patrol unit.

If a man walks into a building wearing improper attire, such as heavy clothing during the summer, that may indicate he should be watched closely.

We are creating a culture of security in Cleveland.
