The Shul Guard Network (SGN) is an initiative based out of the Los Angeles Jewish community that is changing how Shuls, schools and Jewish institutions, communicate and share critical information. The primary function is to provide and facilitate communication infrastructure for the safety and security of our community. In the past few years, we have seen a significant rise in violent and brutal crimes in the Los Angeles area. The openness and violence with which crimes are committed are at levels that our community has not previously experienced. This rise in crime is in conjunction with the constant and ever-growing terror threats against Shuls, schools, and Jewish institutions, across the United States and globally.
