CTRI Security Team Volunteer Screening

Security Team Volunteer Screening
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.

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 this form.
