Jewish Group) NY will increase police presence in Jewish neighborhoods for High Holidays
The New York Police Department said it will increase its presence in Jewish neighborhoods before and during the High Holidays.
Increased foot patrols and specialized units such as counterterrorism teams will be deployed throughout the communities, Commissioner James O’Neill announced Wednesday. He said not all of them would be identifiable.
The NYPD has reported a 63 percent rise in anti-Semitic hate crimes throughout the city this year. Brooklyn’s heavily Jewish neighborhoods have seen a slew of attacks on visibly Jewish people over the past several weeks.
O’Neill appeared at a news conference with Mayor Bill de Blasio.
