This past week, @CNN's @DanaBashCNN joined @MichaelGMasters at SCN HQ. SCN logged a record number of  incident reports in October alone. There is no question that violent antisemitic incidents are going up, and that the Hamas terror attacks on 07 October opened the floodgates. Our 24/7 Jewish Security Operations Command Center (JSOCC) is working around the clock to monitor events, track incidents, gather intelligence, share information, and respond to events in real time to keep the Jewish community across North America safe and secure.

“The vulnerability that I think we need to guard against the most is the feeling that it could never happen here.” SCN’s @MichaelGMasters explains why preparedness matters and why the lessons of those who have lived through tragedy must be carried forward. We may not choose when or where the next incident happens. We can choose our preparation. Since 2024, more than 91,000 people have participated in SCN training, putting those lessons into practice across the Jewish community. See how preparedness turns lessons into action in Standing With Strength. securecommunitynetwork.org/s…

“Little did I ever think that training for what’s happening in the Jewish world would come in handy for me in my personal world.” When the Surfside building collapsed in 2021, Ofi saw what looked like smoke outside her home. She knew something wasn’t right. Her situational awareness training kicked in. “Your gut is always right.” Ofi’s story of preparedness is one of many.

“I am 100% convinced that saved my life.” When gunfire erupted during the 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue shooting, Martyn heard a woman scream and reacted. His active shooter training had taught him Run, Hide, Fight. In that moment, he didn’t think. He acted. “I just reacted and next thing I knew I was going the other way.” Martyn’s story of preparedness is one of many. Hear them all in Standing With Strength.

SCN and @Jewish_Atlanta commend law enforcement for the swift arrest of Jonathan Susor, a Georgia man, following alleged social media activity urging violence against the Jewish community and its institutions. The posts were first identified by SCN, which immediately engaged the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta’s Community Security Director and Deputy Community Security Director, who worked closely with Federation leadership and law enforcement partners to ensure they were informed of the matter. SCN also issued a Be-On-the-Lookout (BOLO) notice to relevant institutions and partners to support situational awareness, while ontinuing to support law enforcement’s investigation. Atlanta’s Jewish community has a well-established security infrastructure led by the Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta, whose security program is managed by SCN; dedicated security professionals, to include a deployed threat management and information sharing capability; and close relationships with local law enforcement. This matter remains an active investigation. We encourage the community to rely on verified information and avoid speculation. Based on an assessment by the Federation, SCN, and law enforcement partners, there is no credible ongoing threat to the community at this time. SCN encourages anyone with information about a potential threat to contact the SCN Duty Desk, operated through SCN’s 24/7 Jewish Security Operations Command Center™, at 844-SCN-DESK (844-726-3375). In an emergency, always call 911.

SCN & @jaxjewish Commend Swift Law Enforcement Action Following Threats Targeting Jewish Community SCN and the Jewish Federation & Foundation of Northeast Florida commend law enforcement for the swift arrest of a Florida man on September 19, 2026, following reported threats targeting the Jewish community. From the outset, law enforcement, the Federation, and SCN worked closely together to share relevant information, support the investigation, and help ensure the community had appropriate situational awareness. The defendant has been charged in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida with one count of Interstate Transmission of a Threat to Injure the Person of Another. While the investigation remains ongoing, we urge the public to rely on verified information. Thanks to the swift work of law enforcement and our community partners, it is our shared assessment that there is no credible threat to the community at this time related to this matter. As the extended fall holiday season continues, we encourage community members to remain vigilant, rely on verified information, and review the established eight High Holiday security recommendations. SCN encourages anyone with information about a potential threat to contact the SCN Duty Desk, operated through SCN’s 24/7 Jewish Security Operations Command Center™, at 844-SCN-DESK (844-726-3375). In an emergency, always call 911.

Statement: SCN Applauds Law Enforcement Response & Community Collaboration to Interstate Threat Campaigns Targeting Jewish Institutions and Individuals. SCN applauds the FBI and law enforcement partners following the arrest of an individual charged with sending at least five interstate antisemitic threat letters that targeted Jewish individuals, organizations, and facilities in South Florida. ​Affected organizations and community partners worked together to identify the threats, assess them, and coordinate with affected institutions, the FBI, and other agencies. These efforts helped law enforcement link threats across locations and identify biometric evidence connecting the suspect to the letters. Community partners included local Federations @AJCGlobal and the South Florida Regional Threat Center, a cooperative initiative between the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, the Jewish Federation of Broward County, the Jewish Federation of Palm Beach County, the Jewish Federation of South Palm Beach County, and SCN to identify threats and incidents, analyze them and work with key partners to address them.

Statement: SCN Working With Jewish Federation of Northeast Florida & Law Enforcement on Reported Threats. The Secure Community Network and @jaxjewish are aware of reported threats targeting the Jewish community and are working proactively with partners as the matter is investigated. Since yesterday, the Federation’s Security Director and SCN have been in direct contact with law enforcement and are working closely with national organizations and local partners. Together, we are sharing relevant information and taking appropriate precautions. Law enforcement is treating the reported threats as a high priority and dedicating significant resources to resolve the matter, protect the community, and support our community’s ability to remain active and open. We remain committed to ensuring security is never a barrier to engaging in Jewish life and will continue working closely with our partners to keep the community informed as the situation develops. As the High Holiday season continues, we encourage community members to stay vigilant and rely on verified information. To report information about a potential threat, contact the SCN Duty Desk at 844-SCN-DESK (844-726-3375). In an emergency, always call 911.
