SHMIRA PUBLIC SAFETY CONTINUES TO BE THE RESOURCE THAT OUR COMMUNITY CAN COUNT ON.

SHMIRA Remains on ORANGE LEVEL ALERT, which means increased foot and vehicular watches in our neighborhoods.

SHMIRA has been providing additional support and presence at community events, deterring crime and hate.

SHMIRA NEEDS YOU NOW MORE THAN EVER! PLEASE DONATE TO SUPPORT OUR FREE SERVICES FOR ALL.

As you may have learned from our website, Shmira Public Safety is undergoing a significant program upgrade. The purpose of which, is to meet the changing needs of the community. It enabled us to be prepared for several recent situations.

We have a new training and onboarding program for our volunteers.
We have new ANSI Safety Vests to identify and protect our members in the field that were donated by an individual in our community.
We need to upgrade our radio communications and dispatch system. This system enables our dispatchers to relay information to our teams that are in the field and other Trained Members when they are needed to help.
We need to purchase additional equipment, software, supplies, etc... that are needed to run our organization.

WE NEED YOUR HELP TO FUND THIS PROGRAM THE RIGHT WAY.

100% of your donation will go toward funding these programs. Shmira Public Safety is run and staffed 100% by volunteers, we have no payroll expenses.

Shmira Public Safety was established as a response to the rise in crime, specifically to those that affected the businesses and families of the heavily Jewish-populated areas that we primarily serve. Over the years, many individuals, groups, and organizations, including the original Shmira Civilian Patrol, Shomrim, and others, began patrolling the community to address the increased rioting, looting, and aggressive panhandling, as well as the increase in robberies, muggings, and hate incidents, that were affecting the quality of life and intimidating residents and tourists alike. Shmira Public Safety has built upon those early efforts and incorporated them into a unified professional organization, providing training, accountability, and focus. In addition to providing an overt presence of trained uniformed volunteers throughout our community, Shmira Public Safety has been focused on increasing its relationships and working in tandem with Law Enforcement and other Public Safety organizations in our area. The more we work together, the more we can all do for our community. The word "Shmira" comes from the biblical Hebrew word that means "Safeguarding." As active members of the community, it is our duty to safeguard our entire community, for all of our residents and guests. While Shmira Public Safety is primarily funded and staffed out of the Jewish community, we are here to serve our entire community, irrespective of faith or affiliation. Shmira Public Safety is staffed 100% by trained community volunteers. Membership is open to all persons (21+), irrespective of gender, race, or religion. All applicants must pass a detailed background check prior to being accepted. visit www.lashmira.or for more information.

Shmira Public Safety is a registered 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization.
