Furthermore, Lakewood Shomrim places a strong emphasis on safety education. They conduct programs aimed at educating both children and adults on personal safety and emergency preparedness. Their Search and Rescue team is equipped with advanced technology, including drones, to assist in locating missing persons, demonstrating their commitment to comprehensive community protection.
