Security News & Updates<br />
Pat Wolkow<br />
Your security team is currently working on several projects.<br />
Federal & State Grants<br />
We completed and submitted a federal grant to FEMA back in May. The<br />
decision will be forthcoming in the next few weeks. This grant will cover<br />
building “hardening-in” areas where we are weak. We are currently<br />
working on a second grant from the State of Maryland for improvements<br />
to our Early Learning Center and religious school areas. It will be<br />
finished and submitted early <strong>September</strong>. This grant is a turnaround grant<br />
which means we could hear as soon as three weeks after submission.<br />
Training<br />
We are working with Law Enforcement about setting up some training<br />
for all who wish to attend. We hope to offer this training to other nearby<br />
faith-based groups as well, so that we can begin a conversation on<br />
assisting each other in times of need.<br />
Other Work<br />
We have been in contact with the Religious School Committee about<br />
setting up regular emergency drills to help us be prepared if and when<br />
the need arises.<br />
We also have been working with the RPC in order to assure your safety<br />
during services, especially High Holiday Services. Be on the lookout for<br />
important announcements in the Holiday mailing.<br />
We are looking for help on our Security Team. Contact Pat Wolkow if<br />
you are interested in helping to keep our community safe.<br />
