Campus Security
Volunteers Needed for 384 Campus Security Team
There is a training for all volunteers on Sunday, November 3, 8:30-11:30 AM.
Jonathan Slutzman from KI has taken the initiative to form and administer an all-campus team for shared participation in the critical job of enhancing campus security. All campus participants are represented but we need more volunteers to provide coverage on a rotating basis.
The team will be divided into groups with designated positions and tasks and will staff the building during regular services, events and holidays.
Training is coordinated by Jonathan and there are sessions sponsored by the Brookline Police (chatchett@brooklinema.gov) in conjunction with the Jewish Emergency Management System (JEMS) through CJP (JEMS@cjp.org).
Please contact Austin Wertheimer (austin59x@gmail.com or 617-733-2886) if you can help out or for questions.
