The Shomrim Society, established in 1924 within the New York City Police Department, serves as a fraternal and charitable organization originally designed to support Jewish officers in their careers. Founded by Capt. Jacob Kaminsky, it grew significantly during the Great Depression, providing a network and resources that were crucial for new members entering civil service roles.

Today, the Shomrim Society continues to advocate for its members through various benevolent programs, including a college scholarship fund for members' children and burial assistance. Additionally, the organization hosts annual events, such as a Passover distribution named after former Assistant Spiritual Director Rabbi Jack M. Sable, ensuring ongoing support and community engagement for Jewish police officers in NYC.
