They have a metal detector but it does no good to check the person but not the bags. Gang activity and drugs are bad.nWe need to implement security for this purpose due to life safety of employees and tenants. Security detail should include searching all individuals and baggage for drugs, alcohol, weaponry and a y other items not intended to be on the premises. Thanks for your concern.nI have spent EVERY DAY for several months attending the shalom center and have found that gang activity is at an all time high, the drug and alcohol use is severe and is leading to violence and division. They are definitely damaging the facility, damage including the shower rooms, rest rooms, doors, walls ECT ECT ECT.nThe shalom center is in need of security, security detail should include searching baggage and people for weaponry, illicit narcotics and alcohol. Breaking up fights, dialing 911 for medical, fire, and police. Thanks for your time and cooperationud83cuddfaud83cuddf8
