In recent decades , several incidents that have taken place at JCCs and other Jewish-related locations across the United States and Canada , as well as the September 11 attacks , have prompted JCCs in all areas to increase security at their facilities . Some of these events have included : New security measures now being implemented include the mandatory display of photo ID ( for non-members ) upon entry to the building , background checks of prospective employees and members , and police officers or security guards being stationed on premises . Childcare areas now have their access restricted to those who have legitimate reason to enter , and removal of a child , which is tightly monitored , is permitted only by custodial parents and guardians and other authorized adults . In addition , many other new security features now reduce the likelihood of non-members gaining access to member-restricted areas
