Shmira Public Safety has expanded its growing patrol fleet with five brand-new emergency response vehicles, strengthening the organization’s ability to respond to calls and provide increased coverage throughout the community.

The new vehicles will be used as part of Shmira’s regular emergency response and patrol operations, with the expansion particularly aimed at strengthening coverage during Shabbos and Yom Tov, when the organization provides an important public safety presence throughout the community.

By adding the five additional patrol vehicles, the organization will be able to increase the number of units available on the road, improve response times, and provide broader patrol coverage when needed.

In another major new initiative, Shmira has introduced a specially designed, non-electric bike that can be used on Shabbos and Yom Tov to transport food, supplies, and other necessities to community members at Maimonides Medical Center. The bike provides a practical option for assisting patients and families while avoiding many of the halachic challenges associated with motorized transportation, planned im detail with Rabbanim shlit"a, further expanding the range of assistance Shmira can provide on Shabbos and Yom Tov.

The latest additions are part of Shmira Public Safety’s continued effort to expand its resources and capabilities as the number of calls and requests for assistance continues to grow across the community.
