Security and Crisis Centre (SACC)

Origin

Security and Crisis Centre (SACC by EJC) was created in 2012. SACC by EJC’s primary mission is the safety of Jewish communities across Europe.

A crisis situation can disrupt operations, damage reputations, and trigger other threats to the communities. The more prepared a community is to manage unexpected situations, the less likely it will fall victim to widespread crisis. It’s not a matter of if a crisis will hit, it’s a matter of when. The SACC by EJC’s highly qualified team of professionals can help communities prepare for and respond to these disruptive events and finally increase their ability to emerge stronger.

The work of SACC by EJC focuses on a broad range of critical issues such as crisis management, education, antisemitism, and international and domestic terrorism. SACC by EJC produces independent, quality research to effectively equip community leaders, policymakers, European institutions, law enforcement and academics. In collaboration with external partners and organisations, SACC by EJC has produced various publications and multimedia projects such as the “Guide to Judaism for Law Enforcement” in partnership with CEPOL and the Security Awareness Videos #TOGETHERWEARESAFER in partnership with CEPOL, USKOT and others.
