New Faith-Based Security Resources Guide and Training Opportunities

The New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency are sharing a new faith-based and house of worship security resources guide in the attachment.

Also, on August 1, Governor Murphy signed legislation requiring the establishment of threat assessment teams in public, charter and renaissance schools for the 2023-2024 school year. To support the implementation of school-based behavioral threat assessment teams, the New Jersey Department of Education’s Office of School Preparedness and Emergency Planning, through the U.S. Department of Justice’s STOP School Violence Grant Program, is hosting Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management training sessions for communities. Grounded in research, behavioral threat assessment is recognized as the current best practice for preventing targeted school-based violence. The sessions will provide an awareness of the fundamentals and basic principles of school threat assessment and management programs.
