Security network briefing camp directors

The U.S. Jewish security coordination network is briefing summer camp directors on safety.

SCAN, or the Security Community Network, is hosting a conference call Wednesday with “experts on camp security who will provide insight into preparedness, safety and security issues,” a release said.

“Recent reports of homegrown terrorist activity and arrests coupled with the current tensions in the Middle East have once again come to the forefront and reinforce the importance of security awareness and comprehensive safety and security planning for the upcoming camping season,” the release said.

Briefers will include a senior official from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
