Israeli Trip

Stuart R. Erlenbush, a retired Illinois State Police Officer, traveled to Israel from November 3^rd to November 11^th, 2006 with Security Systems International, a Miami based training company.  The purpose of the trip was to study the security measures used by the Israelis to counter the threat of terrorism on a daily basis.  While there, he conferred with top experts from the Israeli Defense Forces (Military), Israeli Police, and the Shin Bet (Israeli CIA).  The SSI group consisted of police officers and security personnel from across the United States.  They were granted access to sensitive installations and provided in-depth briefings regarding each site’s security.

In all security venues, the Israelis employ Circles of Security, a multi-layered approach to protecting their seaports, power plants, airports, malls, government buildings, hotels, restaurants, military installations, national landmarks, and religious sites.
