Faith-Based & Community Institution Security in the National Capital Region

The Washington region holds one of the largest and most institutionally dense Jewish communities in the country, alongside congregations of every faith — and communal leadership here has spent recent years making hard decisions about security that they never wanted to have to make. GPS works in that environment: assessing facilities, standing up officer coverage sized to the congregation, surging for high holidays and major gatherings, protecting day schools and preschools, and training the volunteer teams that so many communities depend on. We hold preferred-vendor standing with a major regional Jewish communal organization, and we coordinate with local law enforcement and existing community security infrastructure rather than operating around it. Licensed and insured in the District, Maryland, and Virginia — the whole region, not a piece of it.

What's included

Common questions
Can GPS support a Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) application?
Yes. NSGP funding generally requires a documented vulnerability assessment identifying the specific risks that proposed investments would mitigate. GPS produces independent, professionally documented assessments built to support that application — and can then deliver the personnel and program the grant is intended to fund. Program requirements and deadlines change annually, so confirm current guidance with your state administrative agency.
Will a security presence make our congregation feel less welcoming?
It should not, and if it does, the program is wrong. The measure of good faith-based security is that a first-time visitor experiences hospitality while a hostile actor encounters a hardened target. That requires officers selected and trained for bearing and judgment, not simply for presence — which is precisely how GPS staffs these posts.
Can GPS train our existing volunteer security team?
Yes. Many congregations rely on volunteer teams, and the gap is usually standards rather than commitment. GPS trains volunteer teams and helps establish written protocols, escalation criteria, and coordination procedures with local law enforcement.
