So Jeremy, what does the commission's final report say a prepared municipality should have in place and how can a town realistically get started?
1:27
Why don't we start with talking about public leadership at the municipal level and what residents should expect from their elected officials when antisemitism occurs.
1:36
And first and foremost, the commission outlines good practices in communication when an incident occurs.
1:44
And that's a very important part of what municipal leadership needs to do.
1:50
Good communication starts with calling out and naming anti-Semitism clearly and specifically in the same way that one would expect to call out and name any form of hate incident for what it is.
2:04
It's important to do that whether or not the events also involve a law enforcement investigation because hate can be legal and protected, but also something that should not be tolerated.
2:19
And it is important when making a statement to name that distinction if necessary.

What about law enforcement? What should local residents, community members and institutions expect from law enforcement in their community?
