The project seeks to enhance the security of the community by hiring of 2 off-duty police officers and a police vehicle for High Holidays. As a result of this project, the population that uses the facility will feel safer from hate-motivated incidents/crimes.

The project includes a partnership with Nalah, an initiative of the Edmonton John Howard Society (EJHS) that is staffed with Justice Support Workers (JSWs) who receive referrals from the Edmonton Police Service. MCHB's cultural brokers act as cultural guides, navigators, mediators, advocates, and community connectors, working with the survivor in the context of the needs of the family.
