US — Paul Goldenberg, deputy director of the Rutgers University Miller Center on Policing, works to enhance security for North America's Jewish communities through the Secure Community Network. His efforts involve international counterterrorism collaboration and preparing for what he describes as increasing antisemitic threats.

Goldenberg said his work became "less about infiltrating criminal organizations and more about embedding myself within communities under threat." He said current antisemitic protests demonstrate that police on the front lines are "terrified by what they're seeing." Goldenberg added, "Many of the people at those protests who hate Jews hate the police just as much, because of the uniform they wear and the profession they chose… They're dehumanizing police the same way the Nazis dehumanized the Jews."

Goldenberg brought the first U.S. counterterrorism policing unit to train in Israel, and since 2001, he has organized more than 15 police missions to the country. He has collaborated with Israeli intelligence to secure Diaspora communities and is currently working with Israeli police on counter-UAS drone technologies. Goldenberg has worked with Israeli police for 40 years.

In 1998, Goldenberg was appointed head of the transnational policing program for the Office for Security Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), a government security initiative. He advised European governments and non-governmental organizations for four years in this role. Goldenberg developed hate-crime prevention programs while serving as chief police adviser to the OSCE. He also created the first law enforcement definition of antisemitism.

The Secure Community Network, founded in 2004, is North America's largest security organization dedicated to Jewish community safety through intelligence and law enforcement liaisons. Goldenberg served as the chief police adviser to the OSCE while leading the Secure Community Network. The organization has a $35 million budget with over 130 full-time employees, including former FBI agents, SWAT commanders, and police chiefs, and works with Jewish Federations in the U.S. and Canada.

Goldenberg conducted his first security assessment of a Jewish community in the U.S. just before the September 11 attacks, traveling to Spokane, Washington, with former FBI assistant director Steven Pomerantz as an adviser to the American Jewish Committee. They arranged for the Spokane police to meet with local Jewish leaders. Goldenberg noted, "In the shadow of hate, it was really the birth of security for the American Jewish community."
