In response to anti-Semitic threats in the town of Whitefish, Montana, Police Chief William Dial placed a Mezuzah on the door of the police station. He had been giving Orthodox rabbis a tour when Rabbi Adam Scheier gave him a mezuzah, a Jewish traditional small case holding parchment with verses from the Torah, to post on his office door. The Chief instead wanted everyone to see it, so he posted it on the main door to the station.
This was prompted by a white supremacist group planning a march which was postponed, but that harassed and threatened many Jews in the community.
