Welcome to Building Resilience in the New Threat Paradigm: Targeted Violence Against People of Faith. This summit is intended to train representatives of houses of worship, from multiple religious denominations across Europe, the United States and elsewhere, on common security concerns and best security practices.

The Miller Center for Community Protection and Resilience at Rutgers University has been in the forefront of confronting campaigns of hatred all over the world and working with local communities to develop the tools and resources necessary to confront extremist violence. The establishment of the Miller Center is a direct outgrowth of Rutgers’ work on the Faith-Based Communities Security Program, supported by the Miller Family and launched in May 2014 in the wake of a lethal terrorist attack on the Jewish Museum in Brussels. Since then, Rutgers and its partners have implemented programs and projects that protect vulnerable populations by identifying and disseminating best practices, offering police-community training workshops, consulting with and assisting vulnerable populations on security and civil liberties issues, and engaging in research relevant to the protection of vulnerable populations.

Stockton University is an early pioneer in the field of Holocaust and Genocide Studies. It opened its Holocaust Resource Center in 1990, and, nine years later, launched the nation’s first Master of Arts program in Holocaust and Genocide Studies. In 2015, the program added a more targeted Genocide Prevention Certificate designed to meet the need for specialized training among professionals in government, the business sector, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) around the world. Today, thousands of undergraduate and graduate students enroll in these courses, and a growing dual credit partnership with area high schools enhances these programs’ impact further still.

This summit is the first of many programs resulting from a new strategic partnership between the Miller Center and Stockton University’s programs in human security, Holocaust Studies, and genocide prevention. Recognizing our shared vision for promoting safe communities, our institutions have agreed to pursue complementary projects promoting work on issues relating to human security, including the development of solutions for mass violence and issues facing vulnerable communities, and the fostering of programming in genocide prevention. We hope you find these sessions and exercises informative and productive, and that you continue to engage with us as we develop new programs to assist in enhancing the safety and security of our communities.

Sincerely,

John J. Farmer, Jr. University Professor of LawExecutive Director, Miller Center for Community Protection and ResilienceRutgers University

Summit Overview

Faith-based communities in Europe, the United States, and around the world have become targets of extremist hatred, bigotry, and violence. Massacres of Jews in Pittsburgh, African-American Christians in Charleston, Muslims in New Zealand, and members of faiths elsewhere have underscored the security challenges faced by faith-based institutions. These challenges force them to balance their essential mission to be open and welcoming to the communities they serve, while also providing a safe sacred space where their worshippers can come for refuge, prayer, and fellowship.

Prompted by these escalating security concerns, the Rutgers University Miller Center for Community Protection and Resilience, the Rutgers University Center for Critical Intelligence Studies, and Stockton University are hosting this international summit to address how organizations can plan to prevent, protect against, mitigate the impact of, and recover from instances of harassment, hatred, and violence.

Summit Objectives

This summit’s overarching goal is to connect theoretical research with real-world experience to devise practical and achievable approaches to the problem of extremist violence. More specifically, we seek to:

• Establish an Interfaith Resilience Coalition (IRC) of faith-based institutions and other stakeholders for ongoing information sharing and best-practice exchanges within and among communities;

• Establish a unified approach and common standard for creating safer, more secure faith-based communities;

• Develop and strengthen relationships with law enforcement officials;• Clarify the needs of faith communities in developing relationships with

federal and state law enforcement; and• Publish, in conjunction with the Summit, an ongoing practical online guide

to identifying and deploying best practices.

PERRY MAYSChairman, Coalition for a Safe Community in Atlantic CityPerry Mays is a retiree from AtlantiCare Health System, where he worked for 32 years. Perry started his career in the Emergency Room and worked his way quickly up through the organization and held several key positions at AtlantiCare. Prior to his last position, he held a Total Quality Management Fellowship, in which Perry worked directly with the CEO of AtlantiCare. This Fellowship focused on “two” key issues: Why Youth Take Drugs and Why Youth Join Gangs. Soon thereafter Perry became the Coordinator of an initiative called “Healthy Cities”, in which the focus changed to organizing communities to become more aware of their environment, both in clean

air, preventative programs, and a sense of community. In 1997, Perry organized and trained individuals to take their communities back from “drug dealers” who had showed their disregard for positive life styles. Perry coordinated over 200 drug marches in Atlantic County. Through the success of the drug marches, four crack houses were closed, and people began to take back their communities in both Atlantic City and Pleasantville. Additionally, Pleasantville and Atlantic City were soon eligible for a Weed and Seed Grant. The concept of Weed and Seed was to “weed out the bad elements and “seed” with the good programs/resources. Over a span of five years both Atlantic City and Pleasantville received over $1 million in grant funding. Perry soon became the Director of Atlantic County Weed and Seed, and was very successful for the entire grant funding period. Other accomplishments were: Pennies for the Homeless, Young Ladies at Peace Program, Community Expos, five Gun Surrender Programs in which over 3,500 guns were retrieved off of the streets of Atlantic County, HIV/AIDS Seminars, and a Healthy Cities Basketball Team, where “x-gang members” were recruited to shoot hoops instead of each other.

In 2015 he was engaged as a consultant to the Rutgers University Faith Based Community Security Program (now the Miller Centre for Community Protection and Resilience) with an emphasis on developing policy and programmatic guidance that local and national law enforcement authorities, faith- based organizations and the broader security community can use to partner more effectively in detecting and addressing threats to their communities; and working directly with communities and law enforcement agencies in the United States and Europe, in the implementation of best practices in this arena. During his time at Europol he was responsible for coordinating operational support to European Union Member States’ investigations into al-Qaeda inspired terrorist activity and was project manager for Europol activities relating to foreign terrorist fighters. He also represented Europol in the EU Commission CT working group and various international bodies, including the Global Counter Terrorism Forum (GCTF) and the United Nations Counter Terrorism Executive (UN-CTED). As a result of lessons learned in implementing the Europol Preparedness Program (following terrorist attacks in the EU in Madrid 2004 and in London 2005), he developed the concept of what is now known as the EU First Response Network (FRN), which effectively became the EU counter terrorism task force in waiting. The FRN was first activated in the wake of the Anders Breivik attacks in Oslo in July 2011. Mr. Griffin headed this first ever “First Response Team” charged with supporting the Norwegian authorities and with assessing the further response required at the EU level via a report to the EU Council of Justice and Home Affairs Ministers. Mr. Griffin joined the Police Service in 1978, moving into plain-clothes work as a Detective in 1983. After a period on the Major Crime Team he moved into covert operations in 1989 where he first became involved in the field of National Security.
