ADL and CSS Announce Enhanced Partnership

New York, NY, December 4, 2025 ... The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the Community Security Service (CSS) today announced an enhanced partnership to further strengthen the security and resilience of Jewish communities across the United States. The expanded collaboration builds on the long-standing relationship between the two organizations, combining ADL’s intelligence and analytic expertise with CSS’s extensive network of trained volunteer security teams.

Through this partnership, CSS volunteers across the country will now benefit from insights and threat intelligence produced by the ADL Center on Extremism (COE). This includes access to ADL’s briefings, training, and resources on the evolving threat landscape. In addition, ADL will gain direct insights from CSS’s nationwide network of volunteer security teams, offering the ADL Center on Extremism’s critical on-the-ground validation and actionable intelligence reports to refine its national threat analysis.

This announcement builds on the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Center on Extremism and the Community Security Initiative of New York (CSI-NY) launch of the Joint Threat Intelligence Partnership (JTIP), a groundbreaking national initiative to detect, investigate, and disrupt threats targeting Jewish communities across the United States.

To further enhance coordination, a CSS professional will be embedded within the ADL Center on Extremism to help identify areas for collaboration, strengthen information-sharing, and ensure timely coordination between ADL’s analysts and CSS’s on-the-ground security network.

“Protecting the Jewish community requires partnership, information sharing, and collective vigilance,” said Oren Segal, Senior Vice President of Counter-Extremism and Intelligence, ADL. “This enhanced collaboration will ensure that CSS’s dedicated volunteers have access to ADL’s latest intelligence and insights — helping communities stay ahead of evolving threats.”

“This partnership underscores our shared commitment to safeguarding Jewish life in America,” said Richard Priem, CEO of the Community Security Service (CSS). “By combining CSS’s grassroots security network with ADL’s intelligence capabilities, we are creating a stronger, smarter, and more coordinated approach to community protection.”

ADL will continue to work closely with CSS and its national network of volunteers on key security issues, ensuring Jewish institutions and community members have the tools, training, and information they need to stay safe.
