Thank you for stepping up to protect the Jewish community.
CTRI is recruiting volunteers across Northern Virginia, Montgomery County, and Washington, DC. You don’t need to belong to a synagogue to participate, though we may give priority to applicants whose institutions are ready to partner with CTRI for community-based security.
Some volunteers may also be selected to assist with special events and community-wide security initiatives. We especially welcome IDF and U.S. military veterans, and current or former law-enforcement officers, ready to serve in a new way.
A quick note before you begin:
Because CTRI operates as a licensed armed security organization, state laws and regulations require us to verify eligibility, conduct background screening, and collect certain information before training begins. These steps help ensure everyone’s safety and protect both our volunteers and the community we serve. We know this form is more detailed than a typical volunteer application — thank you for your patience and trust. Your information is handled confidentially and used only for state-mandated compliance and internal screening.
Please complete this form to help us evaluate eligibility and prioritize training spots. We estimate that it will take approximately 15–20 minutes to complete.
