[chicago-aneinu] Update! White Supremacist Arrested

Anti-Defamation League SECURITY ADVISORY December 29, 2011 We wanted to notify you that Danny Lee Warner, Jr. has been arrested by local police in in Lake Havasu, Arizona without incident. He is being charged with being a convicted felon in possession of ammunition, and there are additional charges expected. At the same time, we must recognize that white supremacy and other forms of extremism remain a threat. It is always important to remain vigilant. We encourage you to continue to do the following: · Keep your eyes and ears open for anything unusual or suspicious and call law enforcement immediately if you come across something. Unusual behavior should be promptly reported to the police or security personnel. · Consider not letting anybody you don’t know into your facility, and not allowing any new visitor to your facility roam around unescorted. · Ensure that your staff members, including newly hired personnel, know what to do in the event of an emergency, and that they know your policy on when to allow persons to enter the facility. · Make sure to use the security devices you have in place and that access controls are being used properly. For example, ensure that communications equipment (for instance, walkie-talkies) and video cameras are working and properly used. · Review and practice security procedures. In particular, review with all personnel their role in security. For instance, if vigilance has slipped in mail and package delivery safety procedures, now is the time to revisit this area. · Renew/establish relationships with local law enforcement and discuss security. It has been our experience that local jurisdictions are working very hard to maintain close relationships with their Jewish institutions. If you have not established personal relationships with key police personnel, set up a meeting to do so. · Trust your instincts. If something strikes you as being out of place or problematic, call the police immediately. Security is a long-term process. It is important to review security procedures on a regular basis and to be thinking of ways to improve security. ADL’s security manual – Protecting Your Jewish Institution – and your local ADL regional office are important resources in your security planning. ADL’s security website is www.adl.org/security.
