Analyst Comments:
FB-ISAO’s 16 January 2024 Daily Awareness Post highlighted the FBI’s Bomb Threat PSA. The PSA stated: “The largest category of threatened institutions, over 400, are synagogues or Jewish community centers, followed by schools or school districts, and hospitals or hospital networks.”
School staff of faith-based schools should consider attending one of these courses to improve the security posture of their facilities.
