Train your people, secure our people

Security training tailored to your needs

CSI customizes security trainings for Jewish organizations based on unique needs. At JCC Greater Boston, Indira Herscovici, Assistant Vice President of Early Childhood Education, tailored security trainings to Jewish preschools.

“I’ve had the ability to customize the security and safety trainings that we really need to have for our preschools. These trainings were built based on the needs of each of those preschool sites.”
