About Us

Wilshire Boulevard Temple, Safety & Security Department (S.S.D.), is an armed, private, in-house security department. We are a mixed group of individuals, career security officers, current and former law enforcement officers, and active and former military members. We are charged with the responsibility of protecting the life and property of the 174-year-old Jewish congregation including a historic sanctuary and building, private schools, camps, a community service center and a large event center soon to be opened.  
 
Our department is on the front lines ensuring the safety of our community in all aspects ranging from man-made (e.g. active shooters, and anti-Semitic acts) to natural risks (e.g. earthquakes, and fire). We invest heavily in the professional development of our team and provide everything a Public Safety Officer (P.S.O.) needs to be prepared for this task. Some of the courses include advanced in-house and third-party training of firearm tactics, defensive tactics, first-aid, trauma, and the latest intelligence of current events and potential threats. In addition, Public Safety Officers are promoted, given the opportunity to pursue a desired billet, and provided raises based on merit.
 
Our Department is dedicated to the preservation of our Jewish congregation. Therefore we treat this responsibility with the utmost respect and require our Public Safety Officers to possess and act with the highest level of integrity, humility, and professionalism.
